Scott] 299, ‘ [October 2, 
A young female bird of this species was taken June 25th, in the 
down, which had the black and brown stripes of the head clearly de- 
fined. , 
13. Helminthophaga chrysoptera. Rare. A single indi- 
vidual of this species was. taken on the mountain, and six others 
along the river banks. 
14. Dendreeca pennsylvanica. Rare. Not seen till Aug- 
ust, when three individuals were taken along the river banks. From 
its not having been seen earlier it probably does not breed, and 
those taken were supposed to be on their way south. | 
15. Dendreeca cerulea. Rare. Found mostly on the moun- 
tain sides and in two cases in the valley. Young were taken fully 
fledged and seemingly taking care of themselves as early as June 
29th. This species confines itself almost exclusively to the beech 
trees, which are here abundant. 
16. Dendrceca dominica. Two inaitiaae $ and ¢, were 
taken by Mr. W. S. Edwards about the middle of July of this year. 
They were taken within three days of each other, and near the same 
locality, so they may possibly breed. This is the first record of 
their occurence in this locality, being typical birds of the Louisian- 
ian fauna. 
17. Dendreeca eestiva. Not common. But found generally 
distributed. Breeds. 
18. Seiurus aurocapillus. Rather rare. Found mostly on 
the mountains. But six individuals were taken during the summer, 
and all of these’ were appreciably more intense in color than those 
taken in Massachusetts in spring. ; 
19. Seiurus novaboracensis. A single bird of this species 
was taken Aucust 8th, and no others were noted. ; 
20. Seiurus ludovicianus. Abundant. Found in damp 
places generally, but mainly along the edges of the river where it 
has many of the habits of our smaller sandpipers. Breeds. - 
21. Geothlypis trichas. Rather rare. A few (five) were 
noted or taken. 
22. Oporornis formosus. Common. Found in the valley 
and lower half of the mountains. Breeds. Young were obtained fully 
fledged June 18th. 
23. Icteria virens. Rather rare. But one instance was noted 
of its occurrence in the mountains, and then at no great distance up. 
Breeds. Young were taken about July 1st, fully fledged, and only
