Throughout the elevated platenu occupying the southeastern corner of 

 Macon Countv, this new Vireo was one of the most abundant forest birds. 

 It was found exclusively in open oak and chestnut woods, where its ring- 

 ing voice, mingling with the rich music of the equally numerous Gros- 

 beaks {Habia ludox'iciana) and Scarlet Tanagers {Piranga erythro- 

 melas), was rarely still even at noontide. Its song was somewhat like that 

 of solitarius, but to my ear much finer, many of the notes being louder 

 and sweeter, and the whole performance more continuous and flowing. 



On the Black Mountains it was also a very common and conspicuous 

 bird, ranging from about 4200 feet to the lower edge of the balsams (5000 

 feet) and inhabiting woods similar to those just described.
