Genus PASSER Brisson. 



125. Passer domesticus (L. ). European House Sparrow. 

 Abounding in all larger towns and villages and their suburbs. 



Genus POOCJETES Baird. 



126. Poooaetes gramineus (Gmel. ). Vesper Sparrow. 



Not seen west of Johnson City, where I found it breeding, but not 

 abundantly. Fox notes it in April in Roane County but I did not 

 find it breeding there. 



Genus AMMODRAMUS Swainson. 



127. Ammodramus sandwichensis savanna (Wils. ). Savanna Sparrow. 

 Fox's record of this species in Roane County during March is the 



only one known to me. 



128. Ammodramus savannarum passerinus (Wils.). Grasshopper Sparrow. 

 Found at Samburg, Raleigh, Bellevue, Chattanooga, Knoxville, 



Greeneville and Johnson City; certainly resident at the five latter 

 places in summer. Not found by Langdon or myself in the Great 

 Smoky Range. 



129. Ammodramus henslowii ( And.). Henslow's Sparrow. 



Two specimens (March and April), taken in Roane County by 

 Fox. 



Genus CHONDESTES Swainson. 



130. *Chondestes grammacus (Say.). Lark Sparrow. 



A flock, probably migrant, was seen in a field near Samburg. 

 One of these was secured. A singing male gave me an unsuccessful 

 chase over the fields near Raleigh, and a pair, evidently mated, were 

 found near Bellevue, the male becoming a sacrifice to science. 



It appears to be rather rare in any part of the state. Other 

 observers do not list it. 



Genus ZONOTRICHIA Swainson. 



131. Zonotrichia leucophrys (Forst. ). White-crowned Sparrow. 

 Numerous at Samburg, Raleigh and Bellevue. At the latter 



place it was seen as late as May 22nd. 



132. Zonotrichia albicollis (Gmel.). White-throated Sparrow. 



Several seen at Samburg and Bellevue. Roane County, March 

 and April; Fox. Not known to breed.
