Genus SPIZELLA Bonaparte. 



133. Spizella socialis (Wils. ). Chipping Sparrow. 



With the exception of the summit of Roan Mountain, this bird 

 was always present in my rambles through Tennessee. Langdou 

 found it up to 4,000 feet in the mountains. 



134. Spizella pusilla (Wils.). Field Sparrow. 



The remarks for socialis equally apply to this species. 



Genus JUNCO Wagler. 



135. Junco hyemalis (L. ). Slate-colored Junco. 



The birds referred to by Fox, the last of which were seen April 

 16th, around Rockwood, have been identified with this migrant 

 northern form. 



136. *Junco hyemalis carolinensis (Brewst.). Carolina Junco. 

 Abundant on Roan Mountain in the fir belt. One heard singing 



in the upper deciduous belt at about 4,500 feet. Eleven speci- 

 mens, including four half-fledged young, were taken. 



Genus PEUCiEA Audubon. 



137. "Peuoaea aestivalis bachmani (Aud.). Bachman's Sparrow. 

 Breeding numerously on the plateau in the parts of Fentress, 



Scott and Morgan Counties traversed on the trip from Sunbright to 

 Allardt and returning to Rugby Road. Also noted near Sawyer's 

 Springs. Three specimens were taken at Allardt. Fox found it in 

 April in Roane County aud on Lookout Mountain. 



Genus MELOSPIZA Baird. 



138. Melospiza fasciata (Gmel.). Song Sparrow. 



The absence of this homelike bird from the woodlands and door- 

 yards of West and Middle Tennessee was not only a source of sur- 

 prise, but of much regret, to me. Never before had I traveled so long 

 out of sight and hearing of some representative of the Song Sparrow 

 in my North American wanderings. 



A few were seen at Johnson City. They became numerous at 

 Roan Mountain Station and were seen thence along the Doe River 

 to an elevation of 3, 500 feet. As a migrant, Fox notes them as 

 late as April 17th in Roane County, after which date they disap- 

 peared. 



139. Melospiza georgiana (Lath.). Swamp Sparrow. 



This bird escaped me, but is almost sure to be found breeding
