The Short-billed Marsh Wren in New Hampshire.— On the 24th 

 of August, 1881, while investigating . the recesses of a fresh water marsh 

 at Rye Beach, N. H., I found a colony of Short-billed Marsh Wrens (C/s- 

 tothorus stellarh) in a small meadow about a mile from the sea. One 

 bird was shot, and five or six others seen and heard. 



Mr. Wm. Brewster in 1872 found this bird in the same vicinity, but in 

 a locality about five miles farther inland. 



These two records extend the northern range of the Short-billed Marsh 

 Wren, and give it a place among the birds of New Hampshire. — Henry
