 Not common at Umbagog, Norway (Verrill), or Quebec (Couper). 



The last named place is its northern limit ; breeds from this point to 

 Maryland. Winters in Mexico and Central America. 



71. Cyanospiza cyanea Baird. Indigo Bird. 



Common at Hamilton (Mcllwraith), and at Norway in summer 

 (Verrill). Not common at Umbagog or Quebec (Couper). This

 wide distribution in summer. Winters in Mexico and Central 

 America.

74. Dolichonyx oryzivorus Sw. Bobolink. 

 Very common at Norway (Verrill). We saw it at Bethel in June, 



and so along the road-side to the mountain range at Newry. Not 

 seen at Umbagog, but Couper gives it as breeding commonly at Que- 

 bec, which he says is its northern limit. Winters in the West Indies. 



75. Molothrus pecoris Sw. Cow Blackbird. 



Given as breeding commonly at Norway (Verrill). Winters in 

 the Southern States and northern Florida. 



76. AgelSDius phoenieeus Vieill. Red-winged Blackbird. 

 Common throughout the whole eastern section of the United 



States, and far north. There is but little difference in the time of 

 breeding between those individuals which occur in southern Florida 

 and Umbagog. During the last week in April, 1871, 1 found nests 

 just completed in the Everglades of Florida, and about May 1st found 

 them nesting in hollow stubs on the Keys. May 10th I found fresh 

 eggs at Ipswich, Mass., and June 1st they were apparently incubat- 

 ing at Umbagog. Winters in the Southern States and Florida Keys,
