111. Corvus americanus (Aud.). American Crow. 



The Crow was not abundant but everywhere represented, except 

 in the evergreen mountain belt. Langdon did not find it above 

 3,000 feet, but it attains a much greater elevation. 



Family ICTERIDJE. 



Genus DOLICHONYX Swainson. 



112. Dolichonyx oryzivorus (L.). Bobolink. 



Abundant as a migrant at Samburg and Raleigh. Also seen at 

 Bellevue and Chattanooga but I have no evidence that they breed in 

 those localities other than the late date of their presence there. 



Genus MOLOTHRTJS Swainson. 



113. Molothrus ater (Bodd.). Cow-bird. 



Noted at Samburg and, questionably at Raleigh. I should say 

 this species was rare in summer in Tennessee. Fox says it is 

 not common in Roane County. 



Genus AGELAITJS Vieillot. 



114. Agelaius phoeniceus (L. ). Red-winged Blackbird. 



Breeding all over the state, but less abundant than in the Middle 

 States. I did not observe it on Roan Mountain, nor does Langdon 

 record it. 



Genus STURNELLA Vieillot. 



115. Sturnella magna (L.). Meadowlark. 



Distribution same as with the preceding species, but more uni- 

 formly abundant. It was noted around Roan Mountain Station. 



Genus ICTERUS Brisson. 



116. Icterus spurius (L.). Orchard Oriole. 



117. Icterus galbula (L.). Baltimore Oriole. 



Both species abundant and with the same distribution all over the 

 state, except above 3,500 to 4,000 feet in the Smoky Mountains. 



Ot the two, the Baltimore was the most abundant, more numerous, 

 indeed, than I ever saw it elsewhere in the United States. 



Genus SCOLECOPHAGUS Swainson. 



118. Soolecophagus carolinus (Mull. ). Rusty Blackbird. 



Migrating in flocks with Cow-birds and Redwings at Samburg. 

 Rockwood, Fox.
