^°1908^^] Woodruff, Birds of Shannon and Carter Counties, Mo. 211 



*127. Geothlypis trichas brachidactyla. Northern Yellow-throat. 

 — Arrived April 29. Was rather rare in Shannon Co., but common at 

 Grandin. 



*V28. Icteria virens. Yellow-breasted Chat. — Arrived April 27 

 and became very common on and after May 3. 



*129. Wilsonia mitrata. Hooded Warbler. — Rare. Only met with 

 twice in Shannon Co. — April 29 and May 15 (Jack's Fork). None were 

 seen at Grandin. 



*130. Wilsonia pusilla. Wilson's Warbler. — A specimen secured 

 May 9 was the only one seen in Shannon Co. 



At Grandin they were fairly common from May 16 to 20 inclusive. 



131. Wilsonia canadensis. Canadian Warbler. — None were seen 

 in Shannon Co., possibly because I left (May 15) before they arrived there 

 (see supplementary list). At Grandin I found them common from May 

 16 to 20 inclusive. 



132. Setophaga ruticilla. American Redstart. — None were seen in 

 Shannon Co. till May 12, and thereafter but two or three each day until 

 my departure, May 15. At Grandin they were common on May 16 and 

 17, but none were seen thereafter, so it would appear that they do not 

 breed in this region. 



*133. Mimus polyglottos. Mockingbird. — The wilds of the Ozarks 

 had evidently no attraction for tliis bird, for I saw none till I reached 

 Winona, Shannon Co., where I found them common May 15 and 16. At 

 Grandin only one Mockingbird was seen — May 17. 



134. Dumetella carolinensis. Catbird. — Rare. In Shannon Co. one 

 was seen April 30 and another May 4. At Grandin several were noted 

 May 17. 



135. Toxostoma rufum. Brown Thrasher. — First one was seen 

 March 31. They were not common, and were seen very irregularly in 

 Shannon Co. At Grandin it was fairly common. 



*136. Thryothorus ludovicianus. Carolina Wren. — Resident, but 

 not very common in Shannon Co., confining themselves to the larger 

 valleys. They were fairly common at Grandin. 



*137. Thryomanes bewickii. Bewick's Wren. — First one was seen 

 in Shannon Co., March 17. They were common from March 23 to March 

 30 inclusive all through the forest, but after that were rarely seen and then 

 about houses only. At Grandin they were common. 



138. Troglodytes aedon aztecus. Western House Wren. — Rare. 

 One was seen in Shannon Co. April 25 and another April 28. Unfortu- 

 nately neither specimen was secured, but as Missouri lies within the range 

 of the western form, I have assigned the above birds to this subspecies. 



*139. Nannus hiemaUs. Winter Wren. — Rare. Two were seen 

 March 23, one April 3,' two April 10, and one April 21, all in Shannon Co. 



*140. Cistothorus stellaris. Short-billed Marsh Wren.- — On May
