Arlington, ilass. 



1900. 



I-ir.Leon C .Kolcorub . called here this morr.ing to give nie 



Iviay 20. as near as possible the exact locality for the Prothonotary 



Warbler shot by him in Arlington last May 20th. He toolv the 

 train in Boston and got out at Arlington. Then he took the 

 electrics that run north along the v/est side of the Ltystlc 

 Ponds. He left the electrics just beyond the upper Pond where 

 a road runs north-west over a hill. Walking along this road 

 for between quarter and half a mile, he got over the wall on 

 the right hand side of the road and 7;ent dovra a short dis- 

 tance to some low ground interspersed with bushes. Here he 

 saw the Warbler flitting about, and he shot him. Tliis spot 

 should be in Arlington near the northern boundary. In dis- 

 cussing the locality we used H. F. Walling ' s map of iuiddlesex 

 County, and I have marked on the map as nearly as Mr.Holoomb 

 could judge the exact spot where he took the bird, lie took 

 the bird home and skinned, sexed and mounted it. It was a 

 male. Ke brought it over here on June Sth, and LIr. Brewster 

 purchased it for $3.00, and deposited it in his collection.
