334 THE BIRDS 
This is a subspecies of the former bird, the description 
of which will apply equally as well to this bird, except that 
it is found in our area only bordering Back Bay, Princess 
Anne County, where it overlaps its breeding range with 
the former species. Their nests, habits and eggs can not 
be distinguished from those of the Long-billed Marsh 
Wren, and they arrive about May 1st. They breed some- 
what later than the former species, for, during a trip 
covering their breeding ground, June 7th to 10th, I found 
them with only incomplete nests. The first of September 
finds them migrating southward.
