Subgenus Cistothori'S. 288. Cistothorus stellaris (Licht.). Short-billed Marsh Wren. Rare migrant southward; rare summer resident. I have no account of its breeding within the State. The only time it has been taken in Franklin County was September 23, 1879, when several were seen and two taken in a swampy ravine three miles from Brookville. Mr. J. R. Slonaker reports it from Vigo County May 8, 1889. Mr. H. K Coale has twice reported it from Lake County, once July 4, 1881. Mr. Alexander Black has taken it in Putnam County. Mrs. Jane L. Hine has noted it April 24, 1888, from Dekalb County. They are quiet, retiring birds, frequenting the reedy margins of sloughs and the smaller lakes. They have been found breeding throughout Illinois (Ridgway) and at St. Mary's Reservoir, Ohio (Dury). Subgenus Telmatodytes Cabanis. "289. Cistothorus palustris ' Wtl»). Long-billed Marsh Ween. Summer resident, abundant northward; not so numerous southward. Outside of the lower Wabash valley I do not know that it has been found as a summer resident in the southern half of the State, but is occasionally seen as a migrant. Mr. Ridg- way informs me of its breeding in Knox and Gibson counties. It Iireeds in Vigo County (Evermann); also throughout the northern part of the State among the dges, grasses and reeds of marshy places. Where suitable localities are numerous the birds breed abundantly. They are said to build quite a num
