87. Vireo olivaceus (Linn.). Red-eyed Vireo. 



A few were observed on the upper Nueces where they breed. 



88. Vireo noveboracensis (Gmel.). White-eyed Vireo. 

 Common around Corpus Christi and elsewhere. 



89. Vireo bellii (Aiul.). Bell's Vireo. 



Numerous, west of San Patricio where I found it breeding. 



90. Dendroica aestiva (Gmel.). Yellow Warbler. 



The only specimen observed was shot near Corpus Christi. 



91. Seiurus noveboracensis notabilis (Grinn.). Grinnell's Water Thrush. 

 One specimen was procured. 



92. Geothlypis trichas (Linn.). Maryland Yellow-throat. 



A female shot was the only one certainly seen. Priour affirms 

 that it breeds at the mouth of Nueces Bay. 



93. Icteria virens (Linn.). Yellow-breasted Chat. 



Only one of these birds, a singing male, was found. Merrill and 

 Sennett found it abundant at Fort Brown, a fact which Beckham 

 io-nores. Mr. Priour thinks it a very rare summer resident around 

 Corpus Christi.' 



94. Mimus polyglottos (Linn.). Mockingbird. 



Abundant breeder. 

 *95. Harporhynchus longirostris sennetti Ridgw. Texas Thrasher. 



Several of these birds were observed and were evidently breeding 

 in the impenetrable chaparral near the toAvn. I was unable to 

 secure any. 



96. Thryothorus ludovicianus (Lath.). Carolina Wren. 



Only observed on the upper Nueces, where they are frequent and 

 had fledged young. 



97. Thryothorus bewickii bairdi (Salv. & Godm.). Baird's AVren. 

 Very numerous and prolific everywhere. 



98. Parus atricristatus Cass. Black- crested Titmouse. 



Several seen on the Nueces in large timber. 



99. Airiparus flaviceps (Sund.). Verdin. 



One specimen of the Verdin was secured. Although many of 

 their nests were found, the breeding season was over and the old 

 and young seemed to have left the country. 



1 This specimen seems intermediate in character, being quite as gray as the 

 average longicauda but is little different in size from typical virens. — W. S.
