example of this recently described race,^» being apparently the first 

 identification of this bird for Tennessee, though it is probable that 

 part of the records of the western house wren {T. a. parkmanii) for 

 the western part of the State refer to this form. The specimen is in a 

 somewhat grayish phase. 



NANNUS TROGLODYTES HIEMALIS (Vieillot): Eastern Winter Wren 



The migrant form of the winter wren is recorded in the collectioa 

 at the following points: Hickory Withe, April 10; western Lincoln 

 County, 6 miles east of Frankewing, November 4 and 6; Rockwood^ 

 March 21, 1885, and April 3, 1884 (W. H. Fox). 



While the A. O. U. Check-list has included the American wrens of 

 this group as specifically distinct from those of the Old World, it 

 appears that the resemblances between them are so close that they 

 are best considered as of one species. In view of this opinion I have 

 listed the winter wrens here under the specific name troglodytes instead 

 of hiemalis. 



NANNUS TROGLODYTES PULLUS Burleigh: Southern Winter Wren 



Two winter wrens were taken at 6,200 feet elevation on Roan 

 Mountain, a male on September 13 and one marked questionably as a 

 female on September 20. The bird has been recorded as nesting there 

 by A. F. Ganier,*'' but specimens were not available to Burleigh when 

 he named this southern race. In the Great Smoky Mountains on 

 Inadu Knob an adult male was collected at 5,400 feet on June 23, and 

 a juvenile recently from the nest at 5,600 feet on June 28. Another 

 juvenile comes from 6,600 feet on Mount Guyot, June 24 ; another from 

 4,500 feet on Snake Den Mountain, June 28; and an adult female 

 from 6,300 feet on Old Black Mountain, June 29. One was observed 

 on Snake Den Mountain at the low level of 3,600 feet on June 25. 



THRYOMANES BEWICKII BEWICKII (Audubon) : Bewick's Wren 



An adult male was taken near Hornbeak on May 6, and three were 

 seen near tlie Mississippi in the vicinity of Tiptonville on October 

 19. One was recorded 12 miles northwest of Waynesboro on May 13, 

 and several were observed near Crossville, where a male was taken on 

 May 27. Others were noted at Melvine and Pikeville on May 31 and 

 10 miles east of Pulaski on November 2. Immature birds recently 

 from the nest were taken at 3,300 feet elevation on Cross Momitain, 

 3 miles south of Shady Valley post office, June 7.
