by Mr. Deane but may have been mistaken as there were several 
warblers in the same tree. As we were unable to detect any 
other individuals upon the strictest search, and did not hear 
anywhere in the woods any song that could be referred to the 
males, I infer that these birds must have been migrating pro¬ 
bable to the North: the sex of the specimens received taking 
into account the well known fact that the females finally tlose 
the migration of a species, would tend to bear out this hypo¬ 
thesis, and in all three individuals the ovaries were but 
slightly developed showing that the time for reproduction was 
still remote. It has been taken only once before in N.E. at 
Watervllle, Me. by C. E. Hambin, May 31. 
13. Mimu s ca rolinensis . Rather rare: breeds. 
An or thur a hy emalis . As the case last year although they were 
continually singing aroung us in the woods we did not succeed 
in getting a shot at a single individual. (Young flying June 73) 
Certhla A meri c ana. Not common, paired and in full song. Am 
now of the opinion that the notes heard in Mass, and described 
V ' 
in my Or. record, were the practicings of the young bird as they 
were more protracted and warbling than the song heard in Maine 
which was short, loud and emphatic and withal very sweet. 
Sitta cana densis . Saw them more frequently than last year but 
the species was still not very numerous. Although all the spe¬ 
cimens taken and observed were adte. their notes had at this 
season a high nasal tone not heard in Autumn and was kept up 
incessantly like the complainings of a young bird.
