NOTES 



New Station for Holly Fern 



Miss Annie Lorenz of Hartford, Conn., reports a fine station for 

 PoUstychum Braunii in Weathersfield gorge, discovered August 11, 

 1919. 



Saw Humming-bird Incubating 



A humming-bird was observed incubating by Miss Emeline Webster 

 of Hartland at the premises of Mrs. L. S. Bartlett and Miss Maria 

 Stedman in West Brattleboro in June, 1919. The nest was on the 

 branch of a maple tree over the lawn and by climbing out on to a 

 piazza roof the observers could see into it, thus having an opportunity 

 to observe the domestic life of this interesting bird. 



Vaccinium Vitis-Idaea at Brighton 



There is a good station for Vaccinium Vitis-Ideae L. var. minus 

 Lodd. at Brighton. This was reported in 1911 by W. H. Blanchard but 

 for some reason was omitted in the Flora of Vermont, published in 

 1915. 



Bulletin 7 Wanted 



Harold G. Rugg of Hanover, N. H., is desirous of obtaining a copy 

 of Bulletin 7, Vermont Bird club, 1914, and is willing to pay 50 cents 

 for one of the booklets. 



Meadowlarks Wintering in Vermont 



Two meadowlarks wintered near Rutland during the severe winter 

 of 1919-1920. When the thermometer remained far below zero, day 

 after day, in January, they entered the city and were seen on ash 

 piles which protruded above the snow. Following the two blizzards 

 in March they were not seen. 



Barrow's Goldeneye on the Connecticut 



Wendell P. Smith of Wells River writes that Barrow's goldeneye, 

 the American goldeneye, and one Holboell's grebe wintered on the 

 Connecticut river near Wells River.
