field sparrow or orchard oriole. Around Shiocton there are 

 farms and some meadow lands but they are isolated. For 

 miles on either side extends a tract of worthless land, once 

 ^ forest, but now transformed by destructive fires into an 

 impenetrable non-productive area. The banks of the Wolf 

 River are at present wholly covered with green timber 

 which is well adapted for arboreous species, but not for those 

 referred to above. With these considerations in mind I be- 

 lieve that the northern limit of the AUeghanian fauna in 

 eastern Wisconsin is not far from the southern boundary of 

 Marinette County or where it meets the waters on the west- 

 ern shore of Green Bay.
