most kinds very abundant. 
N. B. a summer Rabin's roost 
last year is not necessarily a 
Summer Robin's roost of this. 
The Oven bird sings its 
night song about as much as its 
teacher note here. 
When the Chickadees about my 
house sing their spring song the 
last half of it is net a whistle, 
but a repeat of the Chicadee note.

My dear Brewster , 
Se far I have fail- 
ea to connect with Burreughs, but 
that need net, I hepe, do me eut eof 
youe Can y eme here seme Sunday 
in June er orf in Julyg Fitx-en. 
any one that will fit your plans, I 
will fit it inte mine. 
This has beena peculiar year 
in several respeets. I did net hear 
the spring peepers at all, pessibly 
because I was late, still they must 
have been very searce. The turtles 
have nearly all disappeared from the 
lake. JI have heard but two bull- 
frogs. Leopard frogs ané pickerel, + 
green-heads very scarce, all of which 
I attribute. to the very severe frost 
ef last winter. 
I¢ has been a great bird year,
