with fine hair-like fibers. It contained four eggs, 
noticeably short in their proportions and rather 
delicate white, with light-brown spots, a chestnut- 
sided warbler’s. 
Having in mind a shy, graceful species whose 
nest is a gem among works of bird architects, we 
began to look for bunches of hanging moss, and 
in a few minutes were rewarded by seeing a bird 
slip softly out from the very nest we were seek- 
ing. She would not suffer us to approach within 
two rods, and almost immediately disappeared. 
This nest, like all others we have seen belonging 
to this species, was suspended in hanging moss 
and constructed of the same material, and noth- 
ing else used. The five eggs were so deep down 
in the sack that we had to look twice to see 
them. . They were tinted white, with light-brown 
spots, and were as long as those in the chestnut- 
sided warbler’s nest, but smaller. The tinting in 
all these tiny eggs arises from the color of the 
contents showing through the translucent shells. 
The owners, a pair of blue yellow-backed warb- 
lers, did not put in an appearance; they are ex- 
ceedingly shy and retiring in their habits. - 
_As we were turning to come away, we saw a 
birch stub which was about six feet high and 
four inches through. Just below the top was a 
hole, and reaching a hand up to examine this, 
out popped a flying squirrel. He struck on a liv- 
ing birch about two feet from the stub and 
flattened. He is one of the most beautiful of 
woods creatures, and as heslay there his large 
dark eyes betrayed his nocturnal habit, and the 
bright light so dazzled them that he paid no atten- 
tion to us. We admired the silky softness of his 
fur and the protective coloring that harmonized 
so perfectly with dead wood or bark. We per- 
suaded him to climb the tree, and by jarring in- 
duced him to fly; he came down at a sharp angle 
two-thirds of the way, and then made a graceful 
sweep, turning slightly to one side and catching 
on to a small tree head downwards. He was so 
gentle we were almost tempted to clap a hat 
over him. We have seen these little animals in 
the same tree with birds, each having their own 
nest. This fellow was solitary, and his nest was 
like that of a mouse, made of fine bark, all 
shredded like oakum. 
Our short walk was a reminder of many pleas- 
ant days spent in the woods with a brother, who 
now lies in far-away California. Some of our 
tramps were in Virginia, some in Washington, 
but mostly in dear old Plymouth Woods.

It was a happy thought that prompted Mr. Fred Mather 
to write of his fishing companions. The chapters were 
received with a warm welcome at the beginning, and have
