Ammodram us caudacut us nelsoni and A c. subvirgatus in Connecti- 
cut!— TliaveTn my collection eighteen specimens of Ammodramus taken 
here between Oct. 4 and 13, 1S90. Ten are true nelsoni , four subvirgatus , ^ 
and the others intermediates. _ _r r 
They were found in the meadows near the Connecticut River, and 
seemed partial to certain localities. The height of the migration was 
apparently on the 10th of the month when thirteen were secured, two 
more being seen that were not captured. On other days only from one to 
three birds could be found. 
On the day when the larger number were killed, the birds appeared 
somewhat stupid, flying from the thick grass when disturbed and perch- 
ing on the wild oats where they remained quiet. At other times they 
were wild and difficult to obtain. — Jno. H. Sage, Portland , Conn.
