I "2 2 Langdon on Birds of the Chilhowee Mountains, Tenn. [April 



On comparison with Ohio specimens of V. solitarius, the larger size, 

 especially of bill and wing, and the generally darker color of the upper 

 parts in the Tennessee birds are very noticeable 



631. Vireo noveboracensis. White-eyed Vireo. — One specimen 

 taken; heard several times in the 'coves.' 



636. Mniotilta varia. Black- and-White Warbler. — Very common, 

 ranging from the valleys up to 3000 feet. 



639. Helmitherus vermivorus. Worm-eating Warbler. — Taken in 

 dense laurel and blackberry thickets on Smoky Range, up to 4000 feet ; 

 and about ravines at Mt. Nebo, 2000 feet. Note a feeble chip. 



654. Dendroica caerulescens. Black-throated Blue Warbler. — 

 Rather common in dark spruce forest about the head of Little River, 

 frequenting laurel thickets and undergrowth of poplar, beech, and sweet 

 gum. Altitude about 4000 feet. 



655. Dendroica caerulea. Cerulean Warbler. — Common in same 

 localities as the last, but frequenting the higher trees. 



659. Dendroica pensylvanica. Chestnut-sided Warbler. — Two 

 specimens ; 2000 to 2500 feet, in oak woods. 



662. Dendroica blackburniae. Blackburnian Warbler.— The most 

 abundant species of the family ; ranging from 2000 to 40CO feet, and keep- 

 ing mostly in the higher tree tops. Adults of both sexes and young of the 

 year taken together. 



667. Dendroica virens. Black-throated Green Warbler. — Several 

 specimens taken at 4000 feet, in spruce woods. 



671. Dendroica vigorsii. Pine Warbler. — One specimen only ; Pine 

 Mountain, 1500 feet. A young in first plumage just acquiring autumnal 

 dress. 



674. Seiurus aurocapillus. Oven-bird. — Taken at altitudes ranging 

 from 1000 to 2000 feet. 



6S1. Geothlypis trichas. Maryland Yellow-throat. — Common in 

 the valleys, in the weeds bordering streams. 



683. Icteria virens. Yellow-breasted Chat. — One taken at base of 

 Mt. Nebo ; others heard. 



6S4. Sylvania mitrata. Hooded Warbler. — Common in little weed 

 patches near the springs at Mt. Nebo (2000 feet) ; and one pair observed 

 apparently 'at home' in a shady ravine near our camp on Defeat Moun- 

 tain (4000 feet), keeping chiefly on or near the ground and moss-covered 

 rocks. Note a single clear tschip, resembling that of the Cardinal but 

 much more resonant and musical in tone. This note was repeated at 

 short intervals (one to two minutes) for hours at a time, as the birds 

 foraged for insects, the dark, green carpet of moss and partridge-berry 

 vine forming an effective contrast with their bright, yellow plumage. 



656. Sylvania canadensis. Canadian Warbler. — A pair taken at 

 2000 feet, on young poplars in a laurel thicket, August 19. 



657. Setophaga ruticilla. American Redstart. — Several observed 

 about shady ravines, ranging from 1000 to 2500 feet. 



704. Galeoscoptes carolinensis. Catbird. — A few only observed, 

 ranging from the lowlands to 2000 feet,
