Coturnicultjs henslowi in New Hampshire. — As the northern 
range of Henslow’s Sparrow has not previously been recorded beyond the 
Massachusetts line, the following notes, which have been kindly placed at 
my disposal by Mr. Chas. F. Goodhue of Webster, N. H., will be of interest. 
He w'rites : “ I detected my first specimen on April 17, 1874, in Webster, 
N. H., and shot another on April 26, 1875, in Boscawen, N. H. On Au- 
gust 16, 1877, I found several pairs in a large meadow in Salisbury, 
N. H. They were all apparently breeding, and I was so fortunate as to dis- 
cover a nest containing four young large enough to fly. The nest, which 
was a bulky structure composed externally of coarse grass and lined with 
finer of the same, was placed in a bunch of grass where the water was 
about two inches in depth. These birds were not at all shy, but remained 
singing on some low bushes until I approached them within a few yards.” 
I have a specimen which Mr. Goodhue shot on Salisbury meadows, and 
kindly presented me. — Ruthven Deane, Cambridge, Mass.
