I IO Batchelder on Birds of the Upper St. John. 
23. Bendroeca tigrina ( Gm .) Bd. Cape May Warbler. — I shot a 
male at Fort Fairfield, June 23, in a thick second growth of spruces on 
the edge of a path. 
24. Smrus auricapillus (. Linn .) Swains. Golden-crowned Thrush. 
— Rather common at Fort Fairfield. At Grand Falls it was seen only in 
the hard woods, where it was not common. 
25. Siurus naevius (. Bodd. ) Cones. Water Thrush. — Breeding at 
Fort Fairfield, but not very common. It was not met with at Grand 
Falls. 
26. Geothlypis Philadelphia ( W/'ls.) Bd. Mourning Warbler. — 
Common in suitable places. It was almost sure to be found in “burnt 
lots,” where the fallen trunks lay, half hidden by a luxuriant growth of 
tall weeds, or thickly overrun with vines. Under the shelter thus afforded 
they undoubtedly nested, safely screened from the most searching eyes. 
27. Geothlypis trichas (Linn.') Caban. Maryland Yellowthroat. 
— Common. 
28. Myiodioctes pusillus ( Wits .) Bp. Wilson’s Black-cap. — At 
Fort Fairfield this bird was common. We usually found them in thickets 
of willow bushes, often in rather wet places. The birds were apt to go in 
companies of three or four or more. June 23 Mr Dwight caught a young 
bird, just able to fly two or three yards at a time. The nest was no doubt 
close at hand, but the ground among the willow bushes was covered so 
deeply with brush that a diligent search for the nest showed nothing — 
except that it was not built in the bushes. The youngster showed in the 
most marked way the energy of disposition and restless activity that 
characterize the adults. The species was not common at Grand Falls. 
29. Myiodioctes canadensis {Linn.) And. Canada Flycatching 
Warbler. — Rare at Grand Falls, but common at Fort Fairfield. 
30. Setophaga ruticilla (Linn.) Swains. Redstart.— This species 
was. exceedingly abundant at Grand Falls wherever there were hard woods. 
It was a common bird at Fort Fairfield. 
31. Hirundo erythrogastra Bodd. Barn Swallow. — Common. 
32. Tachycineta bicolor ( Vieill. ) Caban. White-bellied Swal- 
low. — At Grand Falls it was common in suitable localities. None 
were seen about the town. It was abundant at Fort Fairfield. 
33. Petrochelidon lunifrons- {Say) Lawr. Eave Swallow. — Com- 
mon at Grand Falls. A.bundant at Fort Fairfield. 
34. Cotile riparia {Linn.) Boie. Bank Swallow. — Common. 
35. Progne snbis {Linn.) Bd. Purple Martin. — Common, breed- 
ing in martin-houses at Fort Fairfield. This bird seems to be generally 
distributed throughout eastern Maine and the adjoining parts of New 
Brunswick, where there are settlements. While on our way to Fort Fair- 
field we noticed it at a number of places between Bangor and Woodstock, 
N. B., as well as at various points along the St. John River between 
Fredericton, N. B., and Fort Fairfield. It is also common at Houlton. 
36. Ampelis cedrorum {Vieill.) Bd. Cedarbird. — It was not un- 
common at Grand Falls. At Fort Fairfield we found it common.
