17. Troglodytes hyemalis. - On September 17 [September 17, 1913] I found a Winter Wren on the
edge of the Run just below our peach orchard in the
morning & either the same or another bird in Pulpit Rock
woods late in the afternoon. On October 17 [October 17, 1913] Henry W.
Henshaw & I met with one in the deep hollow below the
Barrett spring "squeaking" it out of a bed of ground
juniper to within a few feet of us.

18. Anthus pensilvanicus. First noted on September 28 [September 28, 1913]. Afterwards seen
or heard almost daily up to November 6 [November 6, 1913], the date of
latest record. Rather less numerous than usual. Noted
chiefly on wing, flying to & fro over the Farm. Met with
in Bensen's pasture only on October 16 [October 16, 1913] when fifteen birds
were feeding on the close-cropped turf there. The largest
number of birds seen in any one flock did not exceed 25.

19. Mniotilta varia. - Single birds seen every few days between August 30 [August 30, 1913]
and September 25 [September 25, 1913], mostly at the Farm where they
haunted the big elms about the house & barn in company
with Black-polls [Blackpoll Warbler] & other migrating Warblers.

20. Helminthophila rubricapillus. - Noted certainly only on September 25 [September 25, 1913] when 
two birds were seen in gray birches at the Farm with
many Black-polls [Blackpoll Warbler] & other Warblers.

21. Helminthophila celata. - S. O. Dexter [Smith Owen Dexter] & I found one in Birch Field 
on the afternoon of September 24 [September 24, 1913] when the country was
flooded with migratory Warblers of various species. The bird
appeared suddenly in a dead or at least leafless bush surrounded by
dark foliaged gray birches & white pines. Here we viewed it
for several seconds through our glasses at a distance of not
