"With regard to the locality near Fresh Pond, of which 
Nuttall speaks some conversation arose. The President re¬ 
marked that the Blue and Green Herons, which Nuttall found in 
the same vicinity, were now entirely gone. He hac, lately 
visited the heronry. There were this year eight or nine pairs 
only of the Night Heron. Only one nest was ready for the sea¬ 
son, at the time of his visit. The number of the birds was 
gradually decreasing, and before many years the spot would be 
/inserted". (MS.Record of Harvard Nat.Hist.Soc. for May 10,
