about Camden. On February 8, 1885, saw a flock of a dozen in cedar trees 
in Dr. Armstrong’s yard in Camden. 
Vigo County: Equally common and well known; numbers observed about 
Terre Haute every summer. 
Monroe County: Noted every summer; small flocks often seen in winter; 
February 10, 1883, a dozen or more seen near Bloomington. 
168. LANIUS BOREALIS Vieillot. GREAT NORTHERN SHRIKE. (621) 
I have seen this species only in Carroll County. On January 8, 1884, I 
saw one in Madison Township just west of Daniel H. Schnepp’s, and ten 
days later I shot one from an apple tree at Mr. Noble’s, two miles northeast 
of Camden. The weather had been very cold with much snow for two,weeks, 
and the snow very deep. 
169. T.ANIUS LUDOVICIANUS EXCUBITORIDES Swainson. 
WHITE-RUMPED SHRIKE; BUTCHER-BIRD.. (622a) 
A rather common resident. especially in Carroll and Vigo counties. 
Carroll County: In the summer of 1882, noted several in the prairie west 
of the Wabash, and one or two along an osage orange hedge northeast of 
Delphi. On November 13, one seen near Woodville, and the next day one 
seen on the Dayton pike near Pyrmont. J. Milton Beck saw one near Bur- 
lington about the same time. On May 11, 18838, one seen in field between 
Delphi and Pittsburg. On March 27, 1884, one seen just south of Camden ; 
May 10, nest with six eggs somewhat incubated, in hedge west of Pittsburg: 
May 27, saw one on Michigan road north of Burlington. The species is in- 
creasing in this county. 
Monroe County: A very rare resident in 1881-86. I have no definite 
records. 
Vigo County: Quite common. especially in the prairie parts of the county. 
I have seen several nests. On April 26, 1890, one with six well incubated 
cegs 10 feet from ground in a honey locust southeast of Terre Haute. Sev- 
eral others seen in osage orange hedges south and southeast of Terre 
Haute. A set of six gotten near Frankfort, April 21, 1888, by Al. J. Keyes: 
nest in hedge, only six feet from ground. 
170. VIREOSYLVA OLIVACEA (Linnzeus). RED-EYED VIREO. (624) 
A common summer resident. Frequents the open woods and the edge of 
forests. Of all our singing birds this is the one which sings most contin- 
uously throughout the day. Even in the heat of the day when most birds 
are quiet this vireo, often called “preacher”, may be heard. 
Carroll County: 1883, May 3, first seen, but already common; June 18, 
nest with two fresh eggs. In 1884, first noted, May 2; noted again, May 5, 
south of Camden. First seen in 1885, on May 4. On June 10, 1883, found 
nest with two cowbird eggs and one vireo, which was slightly broken, 
apparently picked by the cowbird. 
Vigo County: A male collected, April 28, 1888, five miles southwest of 
Terre Haute; many seen. Others noted April 3
