The Great Carolina Wren {Thryothorus hidovicianus) in New 

 Hampshire. — While collecting in a thick piece of woods at Rye Beach, 

 N. H., mj attention was attracted bj a loud clear note which I failed to 

 recognize. After following the sound for some time the bird, enticed bj 

 the imitation of its note, showed itself for a moment and was secured. It 

 proved to be the Great Carolina Wren. While picking it up another was 

 heard scolding in the neighboring thicket, but upon my nearer approach it 

 vanished in the bushes, scarcely allowing me a momentary glimpse. This 

 happened August 7. and is, I believe, the most northern appearance of 

 this bird on record. — Henry IVI. Spelman, Cambridge. Mass.
