It is lined with the same materials as the other? excepting, the green 

 moss. The dimensions are; diameter externally, five and one-half 

 inches; internally, two and one-half; depth externally, three inches; 

 internally, one and one-half. Description of the eggs : No. 1, bluish 

 green, with a ring of spots and blotches of brown and lilac around 

 the larger end. The remainder of the surface is somewhat sparsely 

 spotted and blotched with the same, the smaller end being nearly im- 

 maculate. A few of the spots are of a deep umber color. Dimen- 

 sions, 70 X 53. No. 2 same as No. l,but with the spots on the larger 

 end more diffused, and nearly covering it, the remainder of the egg 

 much less spotted than in the preceding. Dimensions, 70 X 52. 

 Both of the eggs are perfect in form. Upon dissecting the female 

 two more eggs were found that would have been laid. 



Another nest was found, but contained no eggs. It was built in a 

 similar position as the two preceding, and composed of much the 

 same materials. Its dimensions are ; diameter externally, five and 

 one-half inches; internally, two and one-half. 



Mr. R. Deane found a warbler's nest at Umbagog, in June, 1870, 

 which upon comparison with those taken the present season, proves 

 it to be without doubt that of this species. It was placed in a hem- 

 lock somewhat higher than those already described, but was con- 

 structed in the same manner. 



It contained six eggs. The following is a description of four 

 which are now before me. No. 1, bluish green, spotted and blotched 

 on the larger end with lilac, brown and umber. The remainder of 

 the surface finely spotted with the same, smaller end nearly immacu- 

 late. Dimensions, 70 X 55. No. 2 almost a counterpart of No. 1 in 

 colorations. Dimensions, 72 X 55. No. 3 is also similar in mark- 

 ings, there is, however, an irregular ring of deep umber spots around 

 the larger end. Dimensions 75 X 55. No. 4 is very different from 

 the others. The ground color is the same, but it is blotched with 

 pale brown and lilac, thickly at the larger end and more sparsely 

 towards the smaller where the spots are finer. There is also a large 

 irregular blotch of pale brown on one side of the larger end. Di- 

 mensions, 72 X 53. Nos. 1 and 3 are most perfect in form, No. 2 is 

 narrow for the length, while No. 4 is short for the width. 



These birds are found in all the wooded sections of this region, 

 where they frequent the tops of tall trees. The first part of the song 

 is like that of the Black-poll Warbler, but it has a terminal warble
