Extracts from letters from George E. Browne of Dedhain, Mass. 



May 26, 1903. "The V/arbler, male, was taken in Dedham on the 

 banks of Charles River on a willow tree on the 4th of Nov., 18G5 or 

 1866. It was a cold disagreeable day and was the only bird seen." 

 To Wm. Brewster . 



July 22, 1903. "The Warbler was shot by myself on a willow tree 

 that stands on what is called the town landing & is still there. 

 It was a very cold day on the fourth of Nov. and was the only bird 

 seen. It was late in the afternoon and the tree was bare of leaves- 

 He was very lively gleaning ainong the lower branches. He was also 

 mounted by myself the next day. V/hen I shot the Flycatcher I did 

 not keep any notes, but later I did keep a few and had the data of 

 the War{bler] but was lost with some others on a trip to the cape a 

 year or so after. So that I have never been quite sure of the ex- 

 act date, but am confident that it was in '66 as near as I can be 

 without swearing to the same." To W.Deane. Letters on file.
