where, however, it must be very rare, for, although included in the 

 latest list of birds from that State, repeated inquiry has failed to 

 elicit a single authentic specimen. It is therefore very doubtful 

 whether the range of C. p. passerina is regularly continuous with that 

 of C. p. pallescens. Indeed, it appears to be a rare bird all along the 

 Gulf coast, until the region of the Suwanee River in northern Florida 

 is reached. It has been recorded as a casual or accidental visitor 

 from the mountain region of western North Carolina and eastern 

 Tennessee, and from south-central Virginia, while there are two 

 records from the vicinity of Washington, D. C, New York City, and 

 southeastern Pennsylvania, and one from western New Jersey. The 

 Michigan record by Dr. H. A. Atkins proves to have been erroneous, 

 according to Prof. Walter B. Barrows.
