WILSONIA CANADENSIS (Linnaeus): Canada Warbler 



Taken only in the Great Smoky Mountains, where specimens were 

 secured at 5,000 feet on Cosby Knob, June 19, on Inadu Knob, June 21, 

 and at 4,200 feet on Snake Den Mountain, June 26. 



Breeding specimens from the mountains of North. Carolina (Mount 

 Mitchell, Graybeard, and Roan Mountain), Tennessee (Great Smoky 

 Mountains), southwestern Virginia (White. Top and Mount Rogers), 

 and West Virginia (Middle Mountain, Yokum Knob, and Cranberry 

 Glades) are very faintly darker gray above, with slightly less greenish 

 yellow wash, than those from the noi-thern United States and south- 

 ern Canada. The difference is barely perceptible on close compari- 

 son and is not one that in my opinion merits a name. 



SETOPHAGA RUTICILLA (Linnaeus): Redstart 



The following specimens were taken: Eads, April 20; Hornbeak, 

 May 3; 10 miles north of Wajniesboro, May 12; 7 miles southwest of 

 Crossville, May 25; Rockwood, April 15, 1885 (W. H. Fox); Roan 

 Mountain, September 16 and 23.

Family ICTERIDAE 



DOLICHONYX ORYZIVORUS (Linnaeus): Bobolink 



Seen 2 miles north of Waynesboro on May 17 and 18. 



STURNELLA MAGNA ARGUTULA Bangs: Southern Meadowlark 



Study of the meadowlarks available from Tennessee has brought to 

 light an interesting condition in that while all I have seen are to be 

 identified as the southern form argutuJa, those from the eastern sec- 

 tion of the State are intermediate toward the northern bird. 



Specimens from the folloAving localities are considered typical of 

 the southern race: Ellendale, April 17; 7 miles northeast of Tipton- 

 ville, October 22; Union City, May 4 and 6; 4 miles east of Waynes- 

 boro, May 17; Fayetteville, November 3; Pikeville, May 31. Meas- 

 urements of birds in this series are as follows : Males, wing 111.8-121.0, 

 tail, 71.6-78.3. culmen from h&m 31.5-36; tarsus 39.6-44: females, 

 wing 103.5-106.6, tail 62.8-72.1. culmen from base 28.6-31.5, tarsus 

 36.7-39.3 mm.
