but I do not think individuals from the far north .ever pass South 

 ' Carolina. 



77. Icterus Baltimore Daud. Baltimore Oriole. 

 Common, and breeding at Norway (Verrill), and Bethel. Does 



not occur north of the White Mountain range. This species has a 

 wide distribution. Winters in Mexico and Central America. 



78. Scolecophagus ferrugineus Sw. Rusty Grakle. 

 Common, and breeding in the valley of the Magalloway (Samuels). 



Saw a few at Umbagog in June. Another species whose southern 

 limit is the White Mountain range. Winters in the Southern States 

 and Florida Keys. t 



79. Quisealus versicolor Vieill. Crow Blackbird. 

 Common throughout eastern United States. There is even less 



difference in the time of breeding of this species than A. phoeniceus. 

 They were not nesting, but apparently about to do so, on the Florida 

 Keys, May 1st. Nesting at Ipswich, Mass., May 2d, and Messrs. 

 Brewster and Bailey found a nest in a hollow stub which stood in the 

 lake, with large embryos in the eggs, June 3d. Winters in the 

 Southern States.

Common throughout the New England States. Partially migrant. 



82. Cyanura cristata Sw. Blue Jay.

83. Perisoreus Canadensis Bonap. Canada Jay. "Meat 

 Hawk." 



Two specimens were taken early in June, 1870, by Messrs. Deane 

 and Bailey, at Umbagog. May breed, but this is south of its usual 

 summer range. I found it common at Errol, November 3d, 1869. I 

 also took two a little later in the season at Bethel. Common during 

 winter at Norway (Verrill). This bird has a variety of harsh, dis- 

 cordant notes, some of which resemble the sounds produced by the 

 common Lynx rufus. It is quite inquisitive, and will follow the trav- 

 eler through the woods for miles, keeping quite near him.
