Jaffrey, New Hampshire.
1900.
July & Aug
  I went to Jaffrey on July 2nd and remained there
most of the time until August 27th. visiting Concord, Mass.
however, on several occasions as on our (August 1-9) remaining
away eight days.
  At Jaffrey I stayed at the Shattucks', a large summer
boarding houses  very pleasantly situated with a fine view
of Monadnock and attractive woods and fields close at hand.
The woods were much like those at Peterboro but
birches and balsams were much more numerous, especially the
former which often made up the principal part of the
tree growth. 
  The drives were particularly attractive with long stretches
of smooth, hard & comparatively level road heavily shaded
by fine old trees and bordered by beds of luxuriant
ferns or thickets of bushes.
  A succession of slight illnesses and several returns of
my chronic lameness prevented me from walking much
but with Walter Deane I drove a good deal. A copy of
the list of birds which we made will be inserted after
these more general observations. It contains pretty much all 
of interest that resulted from our combined observations
and shows how nearly the bird fauna approximates to
that of the Peterboro region as represented by the lists in
my journal for 1898 and 1899.
  Aside from the brief & condensed statement outlined
in the field list I made a few notes which seem
worth recording here. Before mentioning them I will insert
a list of the birds which we have found here this season
but did not detect in Peterboro in 1898 or 1899. They are as follows:
Wilsonia canadensis one family, Dendroica caerulescens, several; Ammoddramus savanna,
one at Mr. Emerson's; Contopus virens, common. Antrostomus vociferous, common;
