THEBIRDSOFTEXAS 37 



262. Tyrannns tyrannus. Kingbird. 



Eastern section of the State, common summer resident. No breeding 

 records from Corpus Christi south to the Rio Grande. Reported 

 as a migrant at San Antonio, breeds at Houston (Nehrling) and 

 Refugio (Carroll). Rather common resident in the neighborhood of 

 Waco. 



263. Tyrannus meiancholicus couchii. Couch's Kingbird. 



Rare summer resident on the Lower Rio Grande. Reported as breed- 

 ing at Lomita ranch (Sennett). 



264. Tyrannus verticalis. Arkansas Kingbird. 



Western section of the State, east during the migrations to San Angelo 

 and San Antonio. Abundant summer resident of the Panhandle 

 and the southern plains, and of the mountains west and south of the 

 Pecos. 



265. Tyrannus vociferans. Cassin's Kingbird. 



Trans-Pecos region, summer resident. This species was an abundant 

 migrant at Paisano and in Du Bois canyon, in the Davis Moimtains, 

 during the last three days of April, 1905. 



266. Pitangus sulphuratus derbianus. Derby Flycatcher. 



Lower Rio Grande (Cameron and Hidalgo counties), rare smnmer 

 resident. 



267. nyiarchns crinitus. Crested Flycatcher. 



Eastern half of the State, breeding south to Refugio and west to San 

 Angelo. Very abundant in the extreme eastern section and as far 

 west as Waco. 



268. Nyiarchus mexicanus. Mexican Crested Flycatcher. 



Lower Rio Grande (Cameron and Hidalgo counties), common summer 

 resident. 



269. Nyiarchus cinerascens. Ash-throated Flycatcher. 



Western half of the State, summer resident. Reported as breeding at 

 San Antonio, Mason, San Angelo and Bonham. I am inclined to 

 doubt the Bonham breeding record. In 1905, we found this species 

 very abundant in the Davis mountains in Brewster county. Hun- 

 dreds were passing through during the latter part of April, and 

 many remained to breed. This flycatcher is a rare fall visitor at 

 Waco.
