mice of Blount County. Lemoyne records specimens from Blount 

 County and Great Smoky Mountain and agrees with Brewster as to 

 the difference in song, etc., between specimens above and below 4,000 

 feet on these mountains. 



206. Parus atricapillus oarolinensis (Aud.). Carolina Chickadee. 

 Specimens from Sawyer's Springs and Raleigh are referable to 



the southern form. I found Chickadees abundant all over the 

 Tennessee lowlands and up Roan Mountain to the evergreen 

 belt. I fail to appreciate the specific distinctions accorded to the 

 southern as contrasted with the northern Chickadee, living as I do in 

 a region where apparent intermediates of the two are found through- 

 out the year. Lemoyne records earolinensis from the valleys up to 

 4,000 feet in the Smoky Mountains of Monroe, Blount and 



Sevier Counties. 



Genus REGULUS Cuvier. 



207. Regulus satrapa (Licht.). Golden-crowned Kinglet, 



The only record known to me is that of Fox, who found them 

 in early spring in Roane County. It is rather surprising that 

 neither Laugdon nor myself observed them in the Smoky Moun- 

 tains, for Brewster found them abundant in the Black Moun- 

 tains of North Carolina. 



208. Regulus calendula (L.). Ruby-crowned Kinglet. 



Fox lists this bird as a migrant in Roane County. It was mi- 

 grating through Samburg during my stay. 



Genus POLIOPTILA Sclater. 



209. Polioptila caerulea (L.). Blue-gray Gnatcatcher. 



Breeds all across the State and in the mountains, up to 3,500 feet. 



Family TURDIDJE. 

 Genus TURDUS Linnaeus. 



210. Turdus mustelinus (Gmel.). Wood Thrush. 



Noted at Samburg, Raleigh, Bellevue, Chattanooga, Harriman, 

 Knoxville and Johnson City. Not on the Cumberland table land. 

 Specimens taken by Langdon in Blount County, at 2,000 and 4,000 

 feet. 



211. Turdus fusoescens (Steph.). Wilson's Thrush. 



Numerous in migrations at Samburg, Raleigh and Bellevue. 

 Breeding at Chattanooga (?) and on Roan Mountain, where it was
