CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE ZOOLOGY OF TENNESSEE, 



No. 2. BIRDS. 



BY SAMUEL N. RHOADS. 



It has been thought desirable not only to include in the following 

 annotated list of the avifauna of Tennessee a synopsis of the species 

 observed during my recent trip, but to make it comprehend all the 

 birds of which we have any record as now inhabiting or formerly 

 occurring in the State. 1 



I have consulted, among others, the following references, which 

 constitute nearly all the literature relating to the birds of Tennessee 

 that has come under my notice.

Dr. C. Hart Merriam has generously given me free use of manu- 

 script notes on the birds observed by him in the valley of the Little 

 Tennessee, opposite Chilhowee Mountain, July 29, 1887; also his 

 notes on the birds observed at Athens, McMinn County, July 23 

 to 27, 1887. 



In my quotations from these and from the papers listed above I 

 have only made use of such notes as would be of value in supple-

 Proceedings, for an itinerary of the author's trip through Tennessee and a brief 

 synopsis of the zoo-geography of the State.
