148 
along the coast north of Massachusetts, and the only record for Maine. In the Seebohm Collection, 
however, is a specimen obtained many years ago by Mr. G. A. Boardman at Calais, in Maine. 
Mr. Faxon, in his list of the ‘Summer Birds of Berkshire Co., Mass., states that the Wood- 
Thrush was “ common at the lower levels and extended high up the beech-forest at the head of the 
Hooper: it was also found sparingly at other points on the mountains " (Auk, vi. pp. 46, 106). 
Mr. Witmer Stone found it not common in summer in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey, and 
confined to the dense cedar-swamps (Auk, xi. p. 140). 
In Pennsylvania, Mr. Warren states that the species is an abundant summer resident from 
about the last week in April to October 1st (В. Pennsylv. p. 228). Mr. Dwight, in his paper on the 
« Summer Birds of the Pennsylvania Alleghanies," states that it is an abundant species, found in the 
woods to the highest point (Auk, ix. p. 140). Mr. Todd also says that in Indiana and Clearfield 
Counties, in the same State, he noticed the bird as common throughout the woodland (Auk, x. 
рр. 41,46). In Ohio the Wood-Thrush remains from May to September (Jones, Auk, xii. p. 241). 
In Indiana it is also a summer resident and breeds (Evermann, Auk, vi. p. 20). The same is the 
case in the States of Illinois and Michigan, and in the latter it is recorded as а common summer 
resident on Mackinac Island by Mr. S. E. White (Auk, x. p. 229). In Minnesota, Dr. P. L. Hatch 
says, the species arrives early in May, the males coming a little in advance of the females. Two 
broods are reared, and the departure southward takes place about the middle of September (Birds 
of Minnesota, p. 433). 
. Prof. Elliott Coues writes :—“ This distinctively eastern species ascends the Missouri as far at. 
least as Fort Pierre, in Dakota, and is reported by Dr. Hayden as being quite numerous along the 
wooded river-bottoms." In S.E. Dakota, Mr. Agersborg says it is very rare, but breeds along the 
Missouri and Big Sioux rivers (Auk, ii. p. 277). Mr. Allen found it exceedingly abundant in 
Eastern Kansas, but not beyond (Coues, B. N.-West, p. 2). 
Turning eastwards again, we find the Wood-Thrush included among the breeding birds of the 
district of Columbia by Mr. Richmond (Auk, v. p. 25), and it is found in Virginia in summer 
(Rives, Auk, iii. p. 160). In Kentucky itis also a summer resident (Pindar, Auk, vi. p. 316) ; and 
the same is probably the case with the State of Tennessee, where Mr. Langdon procured specimens 
in August on the Chilhowee Mountains at elevations ranging between 2000 to 4000 feet. Mr. Fox 
reports it as rather common in Коапе Co. in April (Auk, iii. p. 315) In Western Missouri 
Mr. Scott found the species quite common and first noticed it on the 1st of May : it bred in small 
numbers (Bull. Nutt. Orn. Club, iv. p. 140). 
In South Carolina, according to Mr. Loomis, the Wood-Thrush is rather common in summer a$ 
well as on migration (Bull. Nutt. Orn. Club, iv. p. 210). He also found it quite plentiful on Cesar's 
Head in South Carolina in June (Auk, viii. p. 333). In western North Carolina Mr. Brewster 
records it as abundant and generally distributed, ranging from the lowest valleys to at least 4500 feet 
on the mountain sides, and breeding everywhere, but most numerously in the thickets of rhodo- 
dendrons near streams (Auk, iii. p. 178). At Coosada, in Alabama, Mr. Brown states that the 
Wood-Thrush arrived on the 12th of April in full song, but was never very common, inhabiting only 
swampy thickets and hard-wood groves (Bull. Nutt. Orn. Club, ii. p. 169). Іп his paper on birds 
observed on the Lower Mississippi in the summer of 1881, Mr. Hay says that it appeared to be 
abundant, and individuals were seen and shot at Memphis and Vicksburg (Bull. Nutt. Orn. Club, 
vii. p. 160). Mr. Beckham observed it common in the woodland of Bayon Sara, in Louisiana, 
in April (Bull. Nutt. Orn. Club, vii. p. 160). 
In Florida the Wood-Thrush is chiefly known as a rare spring and fall migrant to the Gulf 
coast, according to Mr. W. E. D. Scott (Auk, vii. p. 119), and he says the same of the species in 
the Caloosahatchie region (Auk, ix. p. 214). Specimens collected by him at Tarpon Springs in
