There were a few varied thrushes breeding on Nine-mile Mountain,
in the dense woods just below timber line. An adult female (no.
42629) collected there on July 23 had laid part of its set.

The two specimens mentioned above, the only breeding birds col-
lected, belong to the coastal subspecies, naevius. At the end of the
summer, migrating varied thrushes of another sort appeared. The
first was seen September 1, a week later they were abundant, and
there were numbers in the woods about Hazelton (mostly feeding in
the sumac bushes) when I left. September 26. These migrating varied
thrushes, judging from three males collected (nos. 42630-42632), were
of the subspecies J. n. meruloides.

Sialia currucoides (Bechstein). Mountain Bluebird

A summer visitant to the lowlands, not abundant but of general
distribution in the more open country. Present and in pairs when we
arrived at Hazelton, the last week in May. The first young bird out
of the nest was seen July 4. In August the species disappeared from
sight, but early in September a few migrating bluebirds appeared
from time to time, and they continued to be seen until September 22,
when the last was observed.

Three specimens collected, all adult males (nos. 42633-42635).
