lowlands but wherever there has been a fire, which has left 

 numerous dead stumps standing, the birds appear to congre- 

 gate. On March 16, 1881^ I saw the fir^t bird of the season. 



9. Regulus calendulus. — Quite common during the 

 spring. First seen April 24, 1881, April 16 1882. 



10. Regulus satrapus — Rather more common than 

 the preceeding. (November 4.) 



11. Parus ATRiCAPiLLUS. — Abundant everywhere. 



12. Certhia FAMiLLiRis. — Quite common during the 

 spring of '82. First seen April 9. 



13. SiTTA CAROLiNENSis. — Common resident. I have 

 yet to meet with Sitfa canadensis. 



14. Troglodytes jedox. — Have seen a few on the 

 side hills aw^ay from the houses. On May 24, I found a 

 nest with six eggs, incubation commenced. Later I found 

 another nest with young. This species dues not seem to be 

 very common as I have found none this season. 



15. Mn^iotilta vakia. — R:ither regularly though not 

 abundantly distributed. (April 28 and oOth.) 



16. Parula AMERICANA. — Last season, although I w^as 

 in the woods every chance I had, I did not meet with this 

 species. This year about May 5 it was quite common near 

 my house, where a few remained for several days. Seen 

 May 5, 6, and 12. 



17. Geotiilypis TRICPL4S. — Not so common 1 think as 

 in Massachusetts. I have seen but one or two. First seen 

 May 27. 



18. Geothlypis piHLADELPmA. — Ou May 30, 1882, I 

 shot a male in a clearing on rather high land near the head 

 of Manilla Creek. I shot a female on July 16 which acted 

 as though she had a nest, I could find none however. This 

 bird was shot on a side hill covered with bushes and small 

 trees.
