I 32. 2)e?i(?r(iJcawTO?iate, (Yellow-rump Warbler). 

 This well known species was found in all situa- 

 tions of the northern portion of the counties; 

 seeming to be about evenly distributed in both 

 forests and clearings. In a birch, at the lower 

 end of Beaver Bog on Hack Inlet, was found a 

 nest of this species. It was composed of fine ' ' 

 grasses interwoven with a few feathers and flaxy 

 shreds of some plant, with a lining of rabbit's 

 hair and feathers compactly pressed into shape. 

 It contained on June 7th four fresh eggs, white 



with a perceptible bluish tint, marked about the 



i /'^'^ larger end with flecks of dark brown. Measure- 



ments are as follows: .70x.51, .70x.50, .69x.51, 



1. ^ .67x49.

Winter Notes from Portland, Maine. — The exceptionally mild winter 

 of 1888-89 was not without its etfect on the birds about Portland. During 

 the fall migration a great many of the Sparrows and Warblers prolonged 

 their stay a week or ten days, or even longer, beyond their usual date. 

 A noteworthy case was that Dendroica coronata which remained until 

 December 6. There appears to be no previous December record of this 



species in Maine, though it has once been detected at Pine Point in Janu- 

 ary.* ). €. 0^ 0*^, P»^a,t^ ^^
