in one of the large hammocks. The rich yellow of its under-parts stood 

 out in conspicuous contrast with the rich black of its head and cheeks as 

 the bright rays of the sun enveloped it in the dark green maze of its haunts. 



76. Anthus rubescens. Pipit. — Quite common on the open sandy 

 areas of the bulrush marshes adjacent to the waters of the bay and the 

 Creek. 



77. Mimus polyglottos polyglottos. Mockingbird. — Usually 

 found in the open, sparsely timbered areas and in the brush on each side 

 of the road. ( toe was occasionally seen in the pines close to our house. 



78. Toxostoma rufum. Brown Thrasher. — Abundant in the 

 more heavily timbered areas, especially in the hammocks. 



79. Thryothorus ludovicianus ludovicianus. Carolina Wren. — 

 Fairly abundant in the hammocks. 



80. Troglodytes aedon aedon. House Wren. — A few were found 

 in the brushy areas in the hammocks. 



81. Telmatodytes palustris iliacus. Prairie Marsh Wrex. — 

 Marsh Wrens were very abundant in all the bulrush marshes. Only two 

 specimens were taken. One has been identified by Dr. Oberholser as of 

 this subspecies and the other as of his subspecies, the Louisiana Marsh 

 Wren (T. p. thryophilus), but as the A. O. U. Committee has not yet 

 admitted the latter subspecies to the Check List, thereby leaving its 

 validity in doubt, T have not assigned it a status in this list. The Marsh 

 Wrens were as reluctant to emerge from the reclusive depths of their 

 haunts as were the Seaside Sparrows, and 1 had s;mie difficulty in pro- 

 curing the two specimens. 



82. Certhia familiaris americana. Brown Creeper. — Abundant 

 in the hammocks, where they mingled freely with Kinglets, Titmice, 

 Chickadees, and Downy Woodpeckers. 



S3. Sitta pusilla. Brown-headed Nuthatch. — Several found in 

 the open, sparsely timbered, pine land areas. 



84. Bseolophus bicolor. Tufted Titmouse. — Fairly numerous in 

 the more heavily timbered areas, especially in the hammocks. 



85. Penthestes carolinensis carolinensis. Carolina Chickadee. 

 — Fairly numerous in all the timbered area--, especially in the hammocks. 



86. Regulus satrapa satrapa. Golden-crowxed Kinglet. — A 

 few were seen, in the hammocks, but not elsewhere. 



87. Regulus calendula calendula. Ruby-crowned Kinglet. — 

 They were legion in the hammocks and some were found in the low bushes 

 on the sandy rid^e separal ing the bulrush marsh from ordinary high water 

 mark on the beach. 



SS. Hylocichla guttata pallasi. Hermit Thrush. — Abundant in 

 the hammocks, where they spend most of their time on and near the ground. 



89. Planesticus migratorius migratorius. Robin. — I was sur- 

 prised to find this bird so scarce. I saw it only once, when a small flock 

 was discovered flyinc; high near one of the hammocks. 



90. Sialia sialis sialis. Bluebird. — Quite abundant, in small flocks 

 here and there throughout the sparsely timbered areas.
