84 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACADEMY OF [1898. 



June, 1897, I did not meet with a single individual, although it was 

 found three miles to the eastward, on Sugarloaf Mountain, in Wayne 

 County. 



55. Melospiza fasciata. Song Sparrow. 



Abundant everywhere, except in the deep woods. 



56. Melospiza georgiana. Swamp Sparrow. 

 Rather common in low swampy situations. 



57. Pipilo erythrophthalmus. Towhee. 



Tolerably common in scrubby fields and clearings. 



58. Zamelodia ludoviciana. Rose-breasted Grosbeak. 



This species seems to be very rare, having only been observed 

 once during the breeding season, when a fine male was shot June 22, 

 1896, in an old clearing near Dimock. 



59. Passerina cyanea. Indigo Bird. 



Abundant, especially in briar patches and clearings, where the 

 males may be heard singing all day long. 



60. Piranga erythromelas. Scarlet Tanager. 

 Very common throughout the deep woods. 



61. Petrochelidon lunifrons. Cliff Swallow. 



Common, but rather local in its distribution, and generally found 

 breeding in colonies. It has of late years been gradually decreasing 

 in abundance. 



62. Chelidon erythrogaster. Barn Swallow. 



More abundant and generally distributed throughout the county 

 than the preceding species. 



63. Tachycineta bicolor. Tree Swallow. 



Rare. Scattered pairs occasionally seen in suitable localities. 



64. Ampelis cedrorum. Cedar Bird. 



Common summer resident, occurring in large flocks during June 

 and again in September. 



65. Vireo olivaceus. Red-eyed Vireo. 



Very abundant, both in the shade trees about houses and in the 

 deep woods. 



66. Vireo gilvus. Warbling Vireo. 



A nest with three young, collected by Mr. Stone and myself near 

 Milford, June 22, 1897, is the only record which I have of its 

 occurrence in Susquehanna County.
