Summer Bds.Mt. Mansfield, 



84. Hylocichla aonalaschkse pallasii. Hermit Thk ,'311. — During 

 my first visit to the mountain in 1899^1 listened in vain for the Hermits, 

 and in 1900, I heard but one. They are certainly not numerous at the 

 base of the mountain where I stayed, and I am quite sure there were none ' 

 on the mountain or along the Notch road. Mr. Torrey writes me, how- 

 ever, that at the time of his visit in 1885, he heard the Hermit near the 

 summit, " singing freely." 



Mrs. Straw reports them as rather common at certain points lower 

 down the valley.
