108. Melospiza georgiana. SWAMP SPARROW.— S. R. 

 • 109. Passerella ilica-. FOX SPARROW. — M. I think this bird 

 more common on the eastern than on the western side of the State. 

 It is a common spring migrant in Windham County, much less com- 

 mon in Fall.

 seems not to have spread far from the villages along the line of the 

 railroads. Numerous on both eastern and western borders of the 

 State, and in the West River and Deerfield valleys. 



111. Pipilo erythrophtJ almus. CHEWINK.—S. R. Common. 



112. Cardinalis cardinalis. — Reported in Brattleboro by observers 

 who know the bird in the South. Have not been able to verify re- 

 port.

 open woodland. Found with the Rose-breasted Grosbeak about all 

 clearings in the mountain forests.
