11. Sim caroUnensu, (White-bellied Nuthatch). 

 This species was seen in both spring and summer. 

 They were as often observed in the deep woods as 

 in the clearings, although the latter oilered more 

 suitable nesting sites. They were not observed 

 in the southern or middl-e portions of either 

 county, seeming to occur only in the wilder lo- 

 calities about Dead river. Only two nests were 

 found, one of which was unfinished in lining. 

 Both nests were old holes of the Downy Wood- 

 pecker in dead birch stubs in old clearings, in 

 which was placed a mass of material consisting of 

 feathers, moss and hair.
