27. Quiscalus quiscula aglaeus. Florida Grackle. — A few. 



28. Megaquiscalus major. Boat-tailed Grackle. — Fairly com- 

 mon on the beach and in the marshes. 



29. Astragalinus tristis. American Goldfinch. — Rather common, 

 in medium-sized flocks among deciduous trees. 



[Spinus pinus. Pine Siskin? — Doubtful; a flock of supposed Siskins 

 seen Feb. 13.] 



30. Pooecetes gramineus. Vesper Sparrow. — Rather common in 

 the clearing; in song. 



31. Passerculus sandwichensis savanna. Savanna Sparrow. — 

 Sparingly present in the extensive clearings. 



32. Zonotrichia albicollis. White-throated Sparrow. — Locally 

 common in thickets. 



33. Chondestes grammacus. Lark Sparrow. — We found this spe- 

 cies in the pine clearings, about equally common with the Vesper Sparrow, 

 and in song. Up to this time we had found it only very rarely. 



34. Spizella socialis. Chipping Sparrow. — Very common in large 

 flocks in the pine clearings; a good many in the town. 



35. Melospiza georgiana. Swamp Sparrow. — Common in suit- 

 able situations. 



36. Pipilo erythrophthalmus. Towhee. — Only a few. 



37. Cardinalis cardinalis. Cardinal. — Rare! This is hardly nor- 

 mal, though it is never as common here as is C. c. magnirostris in lower 

 Louisiana. 



(38. Progne subis. Purple Martin. — A spring bird, of course, and 

 so hardly in keeping in this list; a few were present, being seen and heard 

 nearly every day of the trip.) 



39. Lanius ludovicianus. Loggerhead Shrike. — Common; the 

 small size of the resident pine woods form was noticeable. 



40. Ampelis cedrorum. Cedar Waxwing. — Only a few heard. 



41. Helminthophila celata. Orange-crowned Warbler. — Con- 

 spicuous when present, and not at all uncommon in the deciduous woods, 

 though always single. 



42. Dendroica coronata. Myrtle Warbler. — Very common, and 

 ubiquitous; present even on the sandy beach. 



43. Dendroica vigorsii. Pine Warbler. — Very common, singing 

 often. 



44. Dendroica palmarum hypochrysea. Yellow Palm Warbler. 

 — Common; always more or less gregarious, and associated with the 

 preceding. 



45. Geothlypis trichas ignota. Florida Yellowthroat. — Two 

 heard.
