and below, taken April 12, 1884, by W. H. Fox, is definitely the 

 southern bird. Two females, collected along Beaverdam Creek at 

 Shady Valley (2,900 feet elevation) on June 5 and 11, have the 

 wing 119 and 121.4 mm, respectively, and are light in color. They 

 appear typical of achnistems, an interesting fact since specimens 

 from the slopes of the Holston Mountains bordering the valley, and 

 only a few miles distant, are the northern subspecies. An immature 

 female in juvenal dress that is barely grown, taken at 2,700 feet ele- 

 vation 4 miles southeast of Cosby on July 2, is referred to the south- 

 ern form, as the brown of sides and flanks is pale. No adults were 

 obtained at this point. An immature male in fall plumage taken 

 at 6,200 feet on Roan Mountain, September 25, wliich represents 

 achnisterus, is a fall wanderer from low elevations, since the breed- 

 ing bird of this mountain is migratonus.
