Seiurus noveboracensis. Lake Umbagog, Maine. 1896. other-nest-and nest was in the open, vertical face of a small May 30. and very old root bank which was densely covered with mosses (No.2). and various small plants and grasses. The entrance to the nest was a sort of slit, narrow vertically but wide horizon- tally. The bird when startled merely dropped to the ground and ran quickly off under some fallen brush and then flying up to a low branch or root tilted and watched me in silence and apparently without apprehension. She did not once chirp and during the hour or more that I was busy with her nest her mate sang in blissful ignorance of his partner's danger fifty or one hundred yards away. If I stood quietly for a minute or two the female would alight at the base of the bank and running quickly up its slightly sloping face would peep in for a moment and then entering settle down to her task first ar- ranging the eggs beneath her by moving them with her legs or feet swaying her body from side to side the while. She did not seem to mind or even notice my camera when it was set up within a yard of her. A sensible, placid little creature very unlike the other above described.
