8 Wilton, Maine. 1871 33 Helminthophaga syriacapilla. Quite rare; it is here almost entirely replaced by its sortotype H. furiginia. 34 Helminthophaga furigina). Very common, found anywhere in the woods, but especially partial to dead swamps and thickets of tall firs: kept always high up in the tree tops and was very restive, frequently taking long flights; sang at all times of the day; its note was very like that of H. syriacapilla, but more prolonged, shrill and rapid; frequently it would sustain a number of tones in succession without the slightest pause until it seemed wonderful that the bird could take breath: it had also a habit of singing on wing especially just as it was coming down from a long flight. The female had a sharp chip precisely like that of H. syriacapilla; they usually kept rather closer to the ground than the males, when they individually bred: Shot a female June 7th that had commenced incubation and this previous that had laid only but one or two eggs; per not fortunate enough knowers to find the nest. 35 Chirrus auricapillus. Found sparingly in the woods. 36 Turmus mureboracensis. Rather scarce: heard them occasionally in the swampy thickets. 37 Androica ferox. Not common, in the woods. 38 D. caeruleus. Rather scarce; in the heavy timber. 39 D. coronata. Quite common in the fir thickets. Found it brooding in an old feature grown up to small firs: These nests found June 8th & 9th were built about breast high in a fir spruce, and contained four eggs each, all far advanced.
