and in portions of southern New Jersey, ranging northward only to 

 the upper border of the Carolinian Fauna. Most common along the 

 valleys of the lower Susquehanna, Schuylkill, Brandywine and their 

 tributaries, generally breeding in the immediate vicinity of water. 

 Occurs May 5— September 15. 



209. JEnipidonax xyufiillas traillii (Aud.). Traill's 



Flycatcher. 



Breeding Range — Northern border of eastern U. S., northward. 

 Winter Distribution — Mexico to northern S. A. 



A rare transient visitant. Though this species is included in 

 several lists, we can find no actual records of its capture in eastern 

 Pennsylvania or southern New Jersey.* 



At Lake Hopatcong, N. J., Mr. S. N. Rhoads saw this species 

 in the latter part of May, and it is possible that it breeds there as well 

 as at certain points in the higher AUeghanies.* 



210, JEinpidonax niiiiiinus Baird. Least Flycatcher. 



Breeding Range — Eastern N. A., from AUeghaniau Zone northward. 

 Winter Distribution — Mexico to Panama. 



A regular, though not abundant, transient in the vicinity of 

 Philadelphia, May 1-15 and September 6-15. Single nests have 

 been taken in Delaware county. Pa. (June 1, 1881. S. N. Rhoads, 

 B. N. 0. C, 1882), and at Trenton, N. J. (June 1891. Jos. W. 

 Tatem), and pairs have been once or twice seen in the vicinity of 

 Haddonfield, N. J., in summer, but the species is a rare breeder in 

 this latitude. 



Along the Pennsylvanian AUeghanies and at Lake Hopatcong, 

 N. J., it is a common breeder. 



Family Alaudidae.— The Larks. 



Two races of the single American species of Lark occur in Penn- 

 sylvania and New Jersey, both of which are winter residents in 

 those portions of the states under consideration.
