 as Fayetteville. It has once been recorded from western South Carolina 

 (Mt. Pinnacle, Pickens County t ). As stated by Audubon and Bachman, 

 " it is not found in the maritime districts of either North or South Caro- 

 lina." Records were secured of its occurrence at tlae following localities :

 tain, Anderson County ( reported common ) ; AValden Ridge, near Soddy 

 (common); ridge between Fayetteville and Pulaski (reported).

 high sunnnits of the Blue Ridge (above 4,000 feet) into Georgia. It was 

 taken also in Virginia. Specimens were secured from the following 

 localities :
