but other specimens will be eagerly sought this season. The young 

 trees and seedlings of Picea alba were found in various situations, but 

 always near large plantations of the spruce. We thought some of the 

 little trees must be five or more years old. 



Most of these new and rare plants were determined at the New 

 York Botanical Garden, and regarding Achillea setacea. Dr. Pannell 

 wrote that it had been reported but twice before in this country. 



Specimens of several of these new plants have been deposited in 

 the State Herbarium. The others may be found in Miss Billings' 

 herbarium if necessary.

SIMILARITY IN NESTS OF BICKNELL/S THRUSH 



George L. Kirk 



There is more than ordinary interest in searching for the nests of 

 one of the shyest of our birds in a place where man seldom goes for a 

 similar purpose, and thus it was with great expectations that Duane E. 

 Kent, of Rutland, and the writer, set out soon after daylight on June 27, 

 1920, to examine the stunted spruces and balsams on the cone of 

 Mount Killington, after having spent a night in one of the Green 

 Mountain Company's shacks. The avian fauna at this elevation, 

 3,700 to 4,100 feet, is limited, in the Green Mountains, being restricted
