Geothlypis trichas. A male singing.
Setophaga ruticilla. A male and either a young
male or a female, flashing about all
day every where. The ad. male was
singing hard all the time. He never
once minded my presence. Once I ap-
proached so near that with my out-
stretched arm I cold have reached
him. He sat on the branch facing me
and sang brilliantly.
Galeoscoptes carolinensis. One seen all over the
garden constantly. There were doubtless two.
Turdus aliciae. I was with R. {Reginald ) H. Howe, Sr. and
G. {Glover} M. Allen when we saw this bird. He was
very tame and we couldn't have had a
better view of him. He had a white eye
ring and his cheeks were dark not at
all buff, and his back was dark. Howe
said it was surely aliciae or a bickneli.
After looking up the two forms carefully
in the Museum and then immediately
going out and inspecting again the bird
I should say aliciae. It was quite large.
Turdus ustulatus swainsoni. Two seen all day.
{Turdus} aonalasehkae pallasii. One seen occasionally
Merula migratoria. At least four.

Total 31 species.
Mr. J.W. Frees told me this A.M. he saw
Zamelodia ludoviciana today, and Howe
said that there were Dendrocia blackburniae
in C.F. Batchelder's garden to-day.
