APPENDIX 
SPECIES OF REGULAR OCCURRENCE PREVIOUSLY OMITTED. 
The following species were omitted from the first one hundred and twenty-eight pag¬ 
es of the body of the Work, for reasons given in the Preface. 
TUEDUS MUSTELINUS. 
Wood Thrush. 
Tardus muslelinus Gm , Syst. Nat., I; 1788. 
Description. Sp. Cii. Form, robust. Size, medium. Color. Adult. Above, cinnamon-brown, brightest on crown, 
and becoming greenish on rump, tail, and wings. White beneath, with maxillary line and large rounded spots on breast 
and sides, brown. Iris, brown; bill, brown, yellow at base of lower mandible; and feet, yellow. Young , similar, but with 
drop-shaped marks of yellowish on crown and tips of wing coverts, and tinged with yellowish on breast. 
Observations. Known by the large size, and rounded spots beneath. Distributed in summer from the Carolinas to 
Northern Massachusetts; wintering in the South. Dimensions. Length, 8 - 25; stretch, 13*50; wing, 4 50; tail, 2‘85; bill, 
•70; tarsus, 1*10. 
Nests and Eggs. Nests, placed on bushes, composed of grass, leaves, and mud. Eggs, three or four in number, oval 
in form, bluish-green in color, unspotted. Dimensions from '65x TOO to ’75 x 1 05. 
HABITS. 
The Wood Thrushes make their appearance in New England, about the second week 
in May, and shortly after, the deeply wooded dells which these birds love, are ringing 
morning and evening, with the clear, bell-like melody which has rendered these birds fa¬ 
mous. So fond are these Thrushes of the woodlands, that they seldom leave them, an'd the 
nests are usually placed in a bush, at no great height from the ground, beneath the shel¬ 
ter of some tree. The eggs are deposited in Pennsylvania about the last of May, and a lit¬ 
tle later further north. The young are fledged by the first of August, and all depart for 
the South early in October. 
SEIUBUS LtJDOVICIAlNUS. 
Large-billed Water Thrush. 
Seiurus Ludovicanus , Bon., List.; 1838. 
Description. Sp. Ch. Form, rather robust. * Size, large. Color. Adult. Above, uniform dark greenish-brown. 
Superciliary stripe and beneath, white, the latter tinged with buff posterially. Maxillary line and arrow-shaped spots on 
breast and sides, dusky. Iris and bill, brown; feet, very pale brown. 
Observations. For comparisons with allied species see observations on page 14. Breeds from Southern Connecticut to the 
Carolinas; winters south of our limits. Dimensions. Length, 6 - 30 stretch, 10*00; wing, 3‘25; tail, 2 30; bill, *75 tarsus, 00. 
Nests and Eggs. Nests, placed on the ground, composed of grass, leaves, etc. Eggs, four or five in number, oval in 
form, creamy-white in color, spotted with pale reddish-brown. Dimensions from ‘55 x '75 to - 60 x - 80. 
HABITS. 
Although the Large-billed Water Thrush is found along the coast of Connecticut, it is 
much more common further south, especially along the rivers and creeks of Pennsylvania, 
for, like its northern representative, it appears to prefer the neighborhood of water. It 
places the nest on the ground at the base of a tree or stump, or near a prostrate log, and 
the eggs are deposited early in June. The alarm note of this species is similar to that of 
the Short-billed, but the song is quite different, being loud and clear, and though some¬ 
what short, is delivered with energy.
