13 UPTON, MAINE 1871 built in nearly the same situations, in pastures under or near fallen logs, from June 4th to 9th: one indeed (June 9th) was placed directly under a broad slab with a space over the sit- ting bird of a few inches only: this nest contained five eggs nearly hatched. 68. Junco hyemalis. Common but not nearly so abundant as at the mountains. A nest taken June was built close under the side of a fallen log in an old pasture and contained four fresh eggs. 69. Spizella socialis. Very common everywhere but did not penetrate very deep into the woods. A nest found at Newcry May 30th contained four fresh eggs. 70. Mélospiza melodia. Common. 71. Melospiza palustris. Common on the shores of the lake: found a nest on a small floating island June 3rd containing four fresh eggs. 72. Guiraca ludoviciana. Rather common at the lake: noticed them all the way up the valley and frequently two males might be heard singing at once. (Cyanospiza cyama. Heard a single male about twelve miles be- low the lake.) (Dolichonyx oryzivorus. Abundant up to the mountain range with a few stragglers above it but does not occur at the lake.) 73. Agelaius phoeniceus. Common on the lake especially near the floating islands where they breed. 74. Scoleophagus ferrugineus. Saw them frequently: are said to breed in great abundance on the Megalloway farther up the lake.
