tain peak, being one of the few lowland birds which makes its 

 home at Cloudlaud. 



I am unable to include among the Woodpeckers of Tennessee 

 the Ivory- billed, Campephilus principalis, owing to absence of any 

 records. Mr. Hasbrouck (I.e. ) refers to it thus: "For Tennesssee 

 no records have been found, although it would seem highly probable 

 that the bird occurs in the bottom lands bordering the Mississippi 

 especially when we consider the records from Fulton County, Ken- 

 tucky . . . and also those directly south in Louisiana and west 

 in Arkansas." 



Order MACROOHIRES. 

 Family CAPRIMULGIDjE. 



Genus ANTROSTOMUS Gould. 

 97. Antrostomus carolinensis (Gmel.). Ohuck-will's widow. 



Heard several every night of my stay at Raleigh. The Whip- 

 poorwill was not heard there. Fox doubtfully refers a Goatsucker 

 seen near Rockwood to this species. Wilson first encountered this 

 bird on the banks of the Cumberland near Nashville, in his jour- 

 ney from Lexington to Natchez. 



97. Antrostomus vociferus ( Wils. ). Whippoorwill. 



I have records of this species from Samburg, Bellevue, Chatta- 

 nooga and Allardt. At the last mentioned place it was very nu- 

 merous. Other observers do not mention it. 



Genus CHORDEILES Swainson. 



98. *Chordeiles virginianus (Gmel.). Nighthawk. 



This bird was noted in the lowlands all across the State but not 

 in the mountains. Fox, Laugdon and Merriam record it from 

 their respective stations, Langdon having seen it on Scott Mountain. 



It is likely that subspecies henryi will be taken in west Tennessee, 

 as it has been in Illinois. 



Family MICROPODIDJE. 



Genus CHJETURA Stephens 



99. Chaetura pelagica (L. ). Chimney Swift. 



Found everywhere. Nesting in chimneys of Cloudlaud Hotel.
