Junco hyemalis completes the list of so-called Northern species 
which I have to record as breeding in this vicinity. Although it is 
probably the rarest of the summer-resident Fringillidce, it occurs 
every year. Like the preceding three species, it particularly affects 
the wilder portions of Scarborough and Cape Elizabeth, where the 
country closely resembles that of Northern Maine. The young leave 
the nest about August 1. I am, of course, aware of the numerous 
instances in which this bird has been detected nesting in mountain- 
ous districts far to the south of Portland, but I believe no record has 
hitherto been made of its breeding, in level country, in this latitude.
