1875 June 19 Fifth day - Sunday at Groton 159 and drive to Concord Did in a peculiarly rich wild warble. Both the D. maculosa and the Blackburnian war in full song and undoubtedly breeding. In the afternoon drove 25 miles through New Ipswich and Townsend to Groton when we got up for the night at the Central house kept by a Mr. Yboar. In a larch swamp 5 miles S. E. from Gaffrey I heard E. Chailli' distinctly, and at Townsend Barro glorius (and Dend. aestiva were noted) for the first time since leaving Princeton, I did not see or hear Mniotilta varia anywhere in N. H. Carpodacus purpureus was seen or heard in nearly every village during the trip. Sunday June 20 Cloudless and warm. Spent the forenoon strolling about the town which is very beautiful with rows of fine old elms and substantial looking residences. At 3 P.M., after [crossed out] started for home and got into Concord by 6. 30. After supper had my horse harnessed and with John drove out to Minot Pratt's farm Mr. Pratt is a botanist and showed us a number of rare ferns that he had brought from different places and transplanted on his farm. He pointed out a hole [illegible] huge elm which over- shadows the brown elms 40 feet above the ground. A pair of Sests (was) had this season bred: still young had been seen in the trees this morning.
