Hylocichla ustulata swainsoni. Lake Umbagog, Maine. 1876. June 11. A nest containing two fresh eggs about six feet above the ground in a fir sapling by the roadside. 1876. June 6. Two nests just completed. 1876. June 12. Six nests; one with three eggs, four with one egg, 1876. June 12. each, one empty. copy (3) " 13. Two nests, one with one, the other with three eggs. The first was built precisely like the nest of a Wood Thrush, on a prong of a dead birch some four feet above the ground. The position of the second was unique--in a hollow scooped in the earth that adhered to the roots of a fallen tree, and perfectly concealed by a portion of the bank which projected above it. The situation of this nest was in every way similar to that usually chosen by the Water Thrush. The bird was sitting and did not start till I placed my hand on the root directly over her head. Two other nests of this Thrush were ta- ken this morning, each with four eggs. In the after- noon I found two more in Grafton, one in a very slender spruce sapling, at least twenty feet above the ground. The bird sat closely and contrary to the rule returned while I was taking the eggs and repeatedly alighted with- in four feet of my head reiterating her liquid peenk. This nest contained four eggs. " 15. Found four nests; one with four eggs, one with three, one with two, and one with one. One of these [36] nests was built about two feet above the ground in the top of a fallen spruce; another in an arbor-vitae about fifteen feet above the ground; a third about fifteen feet above the ground on some twigs that branched out from the trunk of a huge birch. " 16. Four nests; with three, three, four, and four eggs respectively. One built in an arbor-vitae about ten feet above the ground contained a set of four eggs, which are unlike any that I have ever seen being nearly, if not quite, as large as Robin's eggs and very heavily blotched and spotted. Another nest was built on a horizontal prong of a fallen spruce, about five feet above the ground.
