16. American Crow [Corviis amcricamis). Found 

 breeding in all sections, common. 



17. Boat-tailed Grackle {Qmsatlus major). One nest 

 containing four eggs was taken in Plymouth from an old 

 elm overgrown with ivy, in 1889, by myself. 



18. Towliee {Pipilo erythrotJialmus). Reported bv 

 Cairns as breeding in Buncombe countv. 



19. Rose-breasted Grosbeak [Habia ludoviciaiia). Said 

 to breed on cragg\- mountains by Cairns. 



20. White-bellied Swallow {TacJiycineta bicolor). Sev- 

 eral nests containing eggs have been taken by my cousin 

 (T. A. Smithwick) and myself in the last few vears.
