Family AMPELIDJE. 

 Genus AMPKLIS Linnaeus. 



155. Apelis cedrorum ( Vieill. ). < 'edar Waxwing. 



Quite universal in its State distribution. I did not find it on the 

 summit, but far up Roan Mountain. Langdon took a young one as 

 high as 3,000 feet. 



Family LANIDJE. 

 Genus LANITJS Linnajus. 



156. Lanius ludovicianus (L. ). Loggerhead Shrike. 



Observed at Samburg and Raleigh, and breeding between the 



latter place and Memphis. Roane County, March 18th and 20th; 



Fox. 



Family VIREONIDvE. 



Genus VIREO Vieillot. 



157. Vireo olivaoeus (L. ). Red-eyed Vireo. 



Abounding in all localities visited, up to the fir-belt of Roan 

 Mountain. 



158. Vireo gilvus ( Vieill. J . Warbling Vireo. 



Several noted at all stops between Samburg and Johnson City, 

 inclusive. No other observer records them from Tennessee. 



159. Vireo flavifrons (Vieill. ). Yellow-throated Vireo. 



Same distribution as last. Pine Mountain at 1,500 feet; Langdon. 

 Abundant. 



160. Vireo solitarius (Wils. ). Blue-headed Vireo. 



Taken by Fox in Roane County (April 15th and 17th), during 

 migration. 



161. Vireo solitarius alticola (Brevvst.). Mountain Solitary Vireo. 



A few heard on Roan Mouutain, from just below fir belt down to 

 3,000 feet. Owing to their preference for the highest tree tops I 

 was unable to shoot any specimens with my caue-guu. 



Specimens taken by Langdon on Pine aud Defeat Mountains 

 were pronounced to be typical of this race by Mr. Brewster. 

 Lemoyne took specimens in Blount and Monroe Counties, which he 

 thinks referable to both forms. As he gives no date for the one 

 from Monroe County, which he calls solitarius, one may infer that it 

 was only a migrant. 



162. Vireo noveboraoensis ((irael. ). White-eyed Vireo. 



Seen at all points between Roan Mountain Station and Samburg,
