 ant summer resident; breeds. 



35. Melospiza melodia mclodia — Song Sparrow. — First seen, 

 April 4(1); next seen, April 5; common, April 7; very common.

 to lie on an important highway of migration for this species.

39. Zamelodia ludoviciana. — Rose-breasted Grosbeak. — First 

 seen. May 25 (3); next seen. May 27; common, May 27; com- 

 mon. Nowhere else has it been my good fortune to find this 

 species as common as I found it about Antigonish.

 seen. May 22 (25); next seen. May 23; common. May 22; com-
