Notes on preceding Table. 
(a). Wilson’s Snipe is mainly a spring migrant. 
(b). Cowbird is commonest in spring migration and has been 
scarcer of late years. 
(c). Meadowlark has been observed June 1, 1913, at Morris- 
ville this county and at Raleigh, June 4, 1916, so is presumably a 
scarce breeder in this vicinity. 
(d). Purple Grackle also taken on June 16, 1891. 
monest during the migrations. 
(e). Vesper Sparrow also recorded by me on May 11, 1893, 
but now think I made a mistake in the identification. 
(f). Second latest date for Song Sparrow is April 11, 1890. 
(g). Second earliest date for Fox Sparrow is November 3, 1886. 
(h). Towhee is commonest in migrations. 
(i). Migrant Shrike is commonest in autumn, scarcest in spring. 
I have an old record of May 6, 1887, but now think it was a case of 
mistaken identity. 
(j). Yellow Palm Warbler is rare and irregular in winter. 
March 31 is. the average of nine years of late March and early 
April dates and may indicate average arrival of transients. 
(k). Pipit also recorded for May 5, 1887, but think it a case of 
mistaken identity. 
(1). Next latest date for Ruby-crowned Kinglet is April 28, 
1887.
