 Virginia. It probably will be found breeding in the higher 

 mountain regions. 



301. Turdus aliciae. Gray-cheeked Thrush. — Probably 

 not uncommon migrant in eastern Virginia, It is common near 

 Washington, and appears to remain later in spring than the 

 Olive-backed ; Dr. Fisher has observed it as late as the first of 

 June. It is also found in Albemarle Cotmty, but has not yet, as 

 far as I am aware, been reported from West Virginia. 



302. Turdus ustulatus swainsonii. Oeive-backed 

 Thrush. — Abundant migrant, at least in eastern Virginia, from 

 the end of April to the latter part of May in spring, and in Sep- 

 tember and October in autumn. Mr. Brewster also found it 

 numerous in Ritchie County, West Virginia. 



303. Turdus aonalaschkae pallasii. Hermit Thrush. — 

 Common in the Virginias during the migrations. Some are 

 found in winter in the warmer districts. Mr. George Shoe- 

 maker has reported them as common in t!ie District of Columbia 

 and Alexandria County, Virginia, in the winters of 1879-S0 and 

 1880-S1 (Bull Nuttall Orn. Club, Vol. VI, p. 113). 



304. Merula migratoria. American Robin. Common 

 summer resident of the Virginias, in many districts resident; most 

 numerous in the migrations ; breeds. In tlie warmer parts of the 

 Tidewater region it is rare in summer, but is common in the 

 mountain region at that season.

 of the Virginias, resident in the warmer districts ; breeds.
