56 SYNONYMY OF MIMUS CAROLINENSIS 



great numbers — on the Atlantic side at least as far as South 

 Carolina, where I have observed it at all seasons. In the 

 spring, a small proportion of the whole number of individuals 

 migrate " at will ", commonly reaching the Middle States and 

 correspondijig latitudes further west. The northernmost 

 records generally quoted fix the limit in Massachusetts ; but 

 Dr. Brewer speaks of a single individual seen near Calais, 

 Me., by Mr. George A. Boardman. Another record from an 

 extreme point, given l)y Dr. P. R. Hoy, is above quoted; 

 the extension of the bird to Wisconsin, as there indicated, has 

 been commonly overlooked. Other States in which the bird is 

 known to have occurred are jS'ew York, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,. 

 Missouri, Iowa, and Kansas. The parallel of J:0° X. has been 

 named as its usual or normal limit.
