1871 Upton Me. The town of Upton is situated at the foot of Lake Umbagog and consists of a few scattered houses only. The adjacent country which we made our collecting ground is one vast valley with sloping hills on every side towering into mountains in the distance. To the South about a dozen miles is a range of lofty mountains which apparently forms the limit of the range of many species of birds & mammals. Sciurus Carolinensis for instance is said to be Seldom seen North of this range and Pterogyna rubra rarely strays beyond it; through this the road passes by a narrow gorge with "Saddle back" mountain in the right and a decided change of fauna is immediately perceptible. Ab. irus becomes very scarce and Eyanospiza Eyama quite disappears; D. maculosa is quite abundant all the way up, although we did not detect it at Bethel the starting point of our stage ride. At that place we found J. Snainsoni, S. noxbracensis, Z. albicollis, J. fuscaescens, D. savanna My. Canadensis; J. trichas, D.
