^ Butler's "Birds of Indiana" (1897, p. 1149) cites me as authority for the alleged 

 breeding of this species in Knox and Gibson counties. This is of course an error, for 

 I never even imagined the possibility of an "AUeghenian" species breeding along the 

 joint boundary line^f the Carolinian and Austroripanan Provinces. Mr. Butler must 

 have misunderstood me or misinterpreted some written or published statement of 

 mine.
