101. Asyndesmiis lewisL- — Apple bird, Bitter-root Valley, Mon- 

 tana (V. Bailey). 



102. Colaptcs auratus. — It never seems impossible to find a few 

 more local names for the flicker. Frank L. Burns has recently (see 

 bibliography) brought up to date the list of flicker names, which 

 reaches a total of 132. It is worth noting, however, that neither 

 this nor his previous list contain the variants "heigh-lo" and 

 "wick-up," which are quoted in standard works. Burns records 

 the name "wheeler" as being used in Maryland; with the prefix 

 "yallow," this name is used on Wallops Id., Va., where we hear 

 also "yallow whicker." Charles Hallock cites the name "Whit- 

 taker" frorrv eastern Carolina (Forest and Stream, 51, No. 27, Dec. 

 31, 1898, p. 525). 



MiCROPODIDAE.

 dar). 



Tyranniqae. 



104. Muscivora forficata. — Bird of paradise, Texas (A. D. Le- 

 compte (Amer. Field, Vol. 27, No. 9, Feb. 26, 1887, p. 200). 



104a. Tyrannus tyrannus. — Betty martin. Wallops Id., Va.; dish- 

 washer, Texas (E. D. Lecompte, Amer. Field, Vol. 27, No. 9, Feb. 

 26, 1887, p. 200). 



105. Sayornis jyhoehe. — Tick bird, Dothan, Ala. (A. H. Howell); 

 bridge, moss, preacher, or spider bird, Hickman, Ky. (Pindar). 



CORVIDAE. 



106. Cyanocitta cristata. — Silken jay, Newfoundland (Harvey). 



107. Perisoreus oiscurus. — This species apparently receives the 

 same cognomens by which canadensis is variously knovm. I 

 heard camp-bird, camp-robber, elk-bird, and tallow-bird in western 

 Washington. 



108. Perisoreus canadensis. — Meat-bird, Alaska. 



108a. CorrusbrachyrhyncJios. — Two cognomens heard by Fran- 

 cis Harper at Patchogue, Long Island, namely Coram duck and 

 Bald Hill parrot, embody the names of nearby villages, which the 

 residents of Patchogue delight to couple* in sarcastic vein with that 

 of the despised crow. 



109. Cyanocephahis cyanocepJialus. — Blue crow (Coues, E., Chi- 

 cago Feld, 7, No. 22, July 14, 1877, p. 359). 



Stuknidae. 

 109a. Sturnns vulgaris. — E. R. Kalmbach gives me the follow- 

 ing names used in New Jersey: Church-martin, Monmouth Co., a 

 very appropriate name, alluding to the bird's fondness for belfries 

 and also to its martin-like appearance in flight; Knelies, Medford,
