SOME ADDITIONS TO THE AVIFAUNA OF NORTH 

 CAROLINA, WITH NOTES ON SOME 

 OTHER SPECIES. 



BY C. S. BRIMLEY. 



During the past five years I have endeavored to gain what 

 information I could in regard to the occurrence of the rarer 

 North Carolina birds, and am now able to add several to the list 

 of species hitherto found in the State, as well as to offer some 

 further facts concerning other species already recorded from 

 North Carolina. 



The following notes are based on observations made by my

 J. S. Cairns, of Weaverville, Buncombe County, and Thomas 

 A. Smithwick of Bertie County.
