from this spot on the cross road to the Doe River valley I found 

 another in a similar environment. This flycatcher was found in the 

 mountains of western North Carolina by Mr. Brewster but is not 

 given in previous Tennessee records. It is a rare summer resident 

 in this region. 



105. Contopus virens (L.). Wood Pewee. 



This flycatcher was found all over the state, including the moun- 

 tains, up to the fir belt. 



Genus EMPIDONAX Cabanis. 



106. Empidonax aoadicus (Gmel.). Acadian Flycatcher. 



The absence of all members of this genus from the lists of Fox 

 and Langdon is a surprise to me, as I found the Acadian everywhere 

 below 8,500 over the entire state. It was abundant in west and 

 middle Tennessee. Dr. Merriam lists it as common near Athens ; 

 also giving it in his list of Little Tennessee birds. 



107. *Empidonax pusillus traillii (And.). Traill's Flycatcher. 



A male, in full song, was shot near Bellevue. It was undoubt- 

 edly a migrant. 



108. Empidonax minimus (Baird). Least Flycatcher. 



As a migrant, I saw this species at Samburg and Raleigh. It 

 breeds at Roan Mountain Station and thence up the Doe River 

 Valley to near the limit of deciduous trees, say 4,500 feet. 



Family CORVIDiE. 



Genus CYAN0CITTA Strickland. 



109. Cyanocitta cristata (L.). Blue Jay. 



Everywhere present, but much more abundant in the lowlands, 

 especially in the Mississippi bottoms. I did not see it on the summit 

 of Roan Mountain but it probably reaches that elevation as a 

 straggler. Langdon sets the limit at 4,000 feet in the Chilhowee 

 Mountains. 



Genus CORVUS Linnaeus. 



110. Corvus corax sinuatus (Wagl.). Mexican Raven. 



Pairs noted around the top of Roan Mountain. Fox observed 

 them near Rockwood. . Specimens of the Allegheny Mountain Raven 

 show that it is intermedite between the Arctic and Mexican forms. 

 Lookout Mountain, "common," Fox.
