Rare Visitors to the Connecticut River Valley in Massachusetts in 
1895. — Seiurus motacilla. — On the 28th day of July, a Louisiana Water 
Thrush was found dead, on the piazza of a house in the central part of 
Springfield, undoubtedly having been killed by Hying against a window. 
The capture of a specimen by Dr. J. A. Allen on Mount Tom in April, 
1869, is the only other record of its occurrence here.

The Louisiana Water-Thrush Breeding in Berkshire County, Mass. — 
On the eleventh of June, 1896, I found a pair of Louisiana Water- 
Thrushes ( Seiurus motacilla) feeding fledged young, near a clear moun- 
tain brook in Sheffield, Berkshire Co., Mass.— Walter Faxon, Museum

The Louisiana Water-Thrush ( Seiurus motacilla ) near Boston. — On 
the morning of April 13, 1902, 1 found a Louisiana Water-Thrush feeding 
about the edge of a pool of water near my house in Wellesley, Mass. He 
remained there for at least ten days, being last seen on the 22d. At first 
he sang with great constancy, though hardly with full voice, but after a 
few days he fell silent, as if (so I thought) he had discovered that he was 
out of his latitude, and was becoming discouraged. As I determined his 
identity with the aid of nothing but a field-glass I am pleased to be 
permitted to add, by way of confirmation, that he was seen on three 
occasions by Mr. C. J. Maynard. To the best of my knowledge the 
species has never before been recorded from eastern Massachusetts. —

Seiurus motacilla in Eastern Massachusetts. — On May 21, 1902, Messrs. 
Francis G. and Maurice C. Blake of Brookline observed a single bird on 
the north bank of the Charles River, above Waltham. The bird was 
watched from within a few feet and there is no doubt of its correct identi- 
fication. — Reginald I-^eb^r Longveood, Brookline , Mass.
