ber 2G, 1892, by Mr. S. N. Rlioads, and another at Avalon, N. J., 

 February 11, 1894, by Mr. D. N. McCadilen, which sliow that this 

 species occasionally winters along our coast. 



327. Hat'porhyncliiisrufus (Lixn.). Brown Thrasher. 



Breeding Range — Eastern U. S., northward to southern Maine and 



Ontario. 

 Winter Distribution — Southern States from about 3*7° southward. 



Abundant summer resident, arriving April 22 and departing Octo- 

 ber 20. In one or two instances individuals have been observed in 

 winter. This species does not breed north of the Alleghanian 

 Fauna, and is more characteristic of the Carolinian, so that we find 

 it less plentiful along tlie mountains than in the lowlands. 



328, Thvf/othorus Imlovlcianiis (Lath.). Carolina 

 Wren. Mocking Wren. 



Breeding Range — Eastern U. S., not ranging north of the Carolinian 



Fauna, except as a straggler. 

 Winter Distribution — The same. 



Resident throughout the year, but rarely occurrs north of the 

 Carolinian Fauna. It is especially abundant in the lower Susque- 

 hanna and Delaware valleys. 



329. Tlivyothorus heivickii (Aud.). Bewick's Wren. 



Breeding Range — Eastern U. S., but rare east of the Alleghanies. 

 Winter Distribution — Georgia to Texas. 



Rare straggler. One specimen was secured at Wynnewood, Pa., 

 April 12, 1890, by Mr. W. L. Baily, and several others have been 

 reported at rare intervals in eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey. 



On the South Mountain, Cumlierland county. Pa., Mr. Rhoads se- 

 cured a specimen in June, 1894, which would indicate that the 

 species bred there, and a specimen in the collection of the Philadel- 

 phia Academy taken by Prof. Baird at Carlisle strengthens this view^ 

 We know of no records of its breeding ftirther east, however.
