cold and damp weather, and consequently by the later ar- 

 rival of most of the species by nearly a week on the average. 

 That the figures I have given above for the three months 

 of March, April, and May maybe the more easily com- 

 pared, I will arrange them tabularly as follows : — 



ARRIVALS. DEPARTURES. TOTAI, MOVE'T. PERCENT. 



March 17 6 23 12.9 



April 39 21 61 34.1 



May 57 37 94 53 



As to the records for the year. On March 1st we found 

 a Brown Creeper. This was distinctively a winter record. 

 The whole month preceding had been cold, with a foot of 

 snow on the ground. No other one was recorded till more 

 than a month later. I may add that in the last two months 

 (January and February, 1902,) we have found a good many 

 of the Creepers here. Before this I believe they had not 

 been recorded here as winter residents. Mr. Jones made 

 one new county record, the Hooded Warbler, on May 9. 



The following average spring migration table is made out 

 from the records of six years from this vicinity. Those after 

 which I have placed an M are migrants and remain here but 

 a short time. Those with no mark remain through the 

 summer. Those that stay here during the winter, but leave 

 in the spring, I have not included. There are about forty 

 winter residents here. A few individuals of those which I 

 have indicated as summer residents are found here during 

 the winter, but I think it may be questioned whether they 

 are the same individuals that are here in the summer. They 

 may be visitors from farther north. Among such are the 

 Robin, Bluebird, Flicker, Mourning Dove, Song Sparrow, 

 Meadowlark, and others. The dates under which I have 

 placed such in the list are those on which the numbers have 

 increased very plainly, probably by migrants.
