It was "in a bunch of small bushes on an inu^idated marsh. 

 It sat quite fearlessly within 10 ft. of me and clearly exposed 

 to vievi?" lied Dearbord in letter on file of Feb. 7, 1899. 



This specimen, a mounted bird in good condition, was 

 sent me for examination by Lir .Dearborn , Feb. 7, 1899. It 

 proved to be a Bewick's Wren of the typical form. The color - 

 inij, of the upper parts was dar'ker than usual and the under 

 parts were somewhat soiled - as if by coal dust. The middle 

 tail feathers w(."re slightly worn but the remainder of the 

 plumage in good condition. One wing measured 2.10 in. , the 

 other 1,96. Tail, 1.97; tarsus, .71; culmen from feathers, 

 .50; from nostril, .36; depth of bill at nostril, .14.
