S. fnnvni^, ]\Iiller, S. iilaturJiinns, Dobson — not S. platy- 

 rhinm, ]>!iir(l — another sub-l)oreal form frequenting to 

 the south the upper parts of mountains, was also collected 

 about the same time in coniferous woods by the banks 

 of a stream in Maugerville. It seems very rare, but 

 one specimen having been taken. Dr. C. Hart Merriam, 

 ornithologist and niammalogist of the Department of 

 Agriculture, Washington, to whose kindness I am indebted 

 in connection with placing the identification of these 

 species beyond doubt, informs me it has never been re- 

 ported north or east of New Hampshire.
