tops of the highest "thibs"; near them there
are thin flooded forests though they were the
favorite resort of J. Cardonensis.
20. Eupodopus visens. Saw but very few, these
in the depths of the forest.
21. Enpidimay [illegible], probably occurs through-
we did not detect it here; found it quite
frequent however at Nairy, some twelve
miles down on the Stage Road where we
took several specimens. Its favorite resorts
here as at Gorham V. H. are the older
thickets along the borders of small "runs"
and streams. All those we saw were
perched on the tops of tall trees or thus
quiescent, and singing vigorously in the
full blaze of the midday sun: this note
was a single keening utterance in a harsh
squish tone, at an interval of about thirty
seconds, and varied occasionally to be whiz-
or he winch; at each uttance the head
was thrown upward with a sudden jerk.
They were fairly approached and apparently
watched closely by swallows as most of the
flycatchers.
22. E. minimus, very common; most partial to
the swampy thickets near the lake though
found rarely where through the woods.
23. E. flavivertex. Found only in the cedar swamp
where it was not uncommon. Took five spec-
imens during our stay which we all or saw. Found them quite tame and musus-sious keeping always from within the deepest
gloomiest shade, and occasionally uttering this
mournful monotonous piece. Mr. Maynard also
heard another note, phil-link, which he descri-
