15 ° Batchelder o?i Birds of the Upper St. John. 
notes that there are a few at Moulton during the summer. The species 
was neither seen nor heard at Fort Fairfield and Grand Falls. 
68. Chordeiles popetue ( Vieill.) Bd. Night-hawk. — Very abundant 
at Gi'and Falls. At Fort Fairfield it was common; they frequented 
burnt lands. 
69. Chaetura pelasgica (Linn.) Bd. Chimney Swift. — At Fort 
Fairfield they were common, breeding both in chimneys and in hollow 
trees. Common in the burnt country at Grand Falls. Not many were 
breeding in chimneys, the people disliking to have them there. 
70. Trochilus colubris IJnn. Ruby-throated Hummingbird. — 
Common at Grand Falls. At Fort Fairfield it was apparently rather com- 
mon — we saw several. 
71. Geryle alcyon (Linn.) Boie. Belted Kingfisher. — Rather 
common at Fort Fairfield. At Grand Falls it was to be seen wherever 
there was good fishing ground. 
72. Pious villosus Linn. Hairy Woodpecker. — Common. 
73. Pious pubsscens Linn. Downy Woodpecker. — At Fort Fair- 
field this species was much less common than P. villosus. It was not 
uncommon at Grand Falls. 
74. Picoides arcticus (Swains.) Gray. Black-backed Three-toed 
Woodpecker. — Common at Grand Falls in burnt cedar swamps. At 
Fort Fairfield we shot two, all we saw. 
75. Sphyropicus varius (Linn.) Bd. Yellow-bellied Wood- 
pecker. — Common — the commonest Woodpecker — at Fort Fairfield. 
They were generally found about recent clearings, or in the more open 
mixed woods. At Grand Falls they were common in hard woods. 
76. Hylotomus pileatus (Linn.) Bd. Pileated Woodpecker. — 
At Grand Falls half a dozen pairs were seen. Probably there is too little 
of the heavy forest left in the immediate neighborhood of Fort Fairfield 
to suit their tastes, as we did not meet with them. “Common” at Houlton. 
77. Colaptes auratus (Linn.) Sw. Golden-winged Woodpecker. 
— Rather common at Fort Fairfield. Not common at Grand Falls.

oo. — Mr. McLeod records this, bird in his notes, but without comments. 
It was not seen at Fort Fairfield or Grand Falls. 
79. Strix nebulosa Forst. Barred Owl. — “Very common” at 
Houlton. We were shown a mounted specimen by Mr. Frank P. Orcutt 
at Fort Fairfield. He considered it the commonest Owl.

uncommon at Houlton. Mr. Frank P. Orcutt told us that it was tolerably 
common at Fort Fairfield. 
81. Bubo virginianus (Gm.) Bd. Great Horned Owl. — '“Very 
common” at Houlton. Mr. Orcutt said it was rather common at Fort 
Fairfield.
