NOTES ON THE BIRDS OF TENNESSEE WETMORE 181 



Mountain, September 27; in Sliady Valley, June 9 (one chasing a 

 quail) ; and at 6,000 feet elevation on Roan Mountain September 13 

 and 14. 



As the sharp-shinned haAvk of the United States is conspecific with 

 the West Indian races, it must bear the specific designation striatus of 

 Vieillot as indicated above, since this name antedates in publication 

 velox of Wilson. It is given in the A. O. U. Check-list for 1931 as 

 Accipiter velox velox through error.
