Vol. xn Stone, Summer Birds of Pine Barrens of N. J. I 39 



1S94 J 



47. Spinus tristis. Goldfinch. — Tolerably common. 



48. Poocaetes gramineus. Vesper Sparrow.— Common in open 

 cultivated ground. 



49. Ammodramus savannarum passerinus. Yellow-winged Spar- 

 row. — Occasional in open ground. 



50. Ammodramus henslowi. Henslow's Sparrow. — This species was 

 taken August 16, 18S6, by my friend Mr. A. P. Brown near Point Pleasant, 

 N. J., in a swamp bordering the Pine Barrens, and was evidently breeding 

 there. Others were seen in the same place in subsequent years. 



51. Ammodramus caudacutus. Sharp-tailed Sparrow. 



52. Ammodramus maritimus. Sea-side Sparrow. — These two salt 

 marsh species follow the borders of some of the rivers and streams within 

 the edge of the Pine Barrens but do not occur in the region proper. 



53. Spizella socialis. Chipping Sparrow. — Common, mostly about 

 dwellings. 



54. Spizella pusilla. Field Sparrow. — Common throughout the low 

 scrub barrens. 



55. Melospiza fasciata. Song Sparrow.— Abundant. 



56. Pipilo erythrophthalmus. Chewink. — Very common throughout 

 the scrub barrens and on the edges of the swamps. 



57. Cardinalis cardinalis. Cardinal. — Not very common. 



58. Passerina cyanea. Indigo Bird. — Not common. 



159. Progne subis. Purple Martin. — Common, mainly along the 

 large streams, nesting about buildings and in boxes. 



60. Petrochelidon lunifrons. Cliff Swallow. — Messrs. Reed and 

 Wilde secured some nests of this species in Cape May County, but it is 

 not generally distributed. 



61. Chelidon erythrogaster. Barn Swallow.— Very common. 



62. Tachycineta bicolor. Tree Swallow — Abundant throughout the 

 Pine Barrens, especially along the large streams. 



63. Stelgidopteryx serripennis. Rough-winged Swallow. — Rather 

 common in localities suited to its habits. Although the Bank Swallow 

 mav breed in the region, all the colonies which I have examined proved to 

 be of this species. 



64. Ampelis cedrorum. Cedar Bird. — Not very common during the 

 breeding season, but some undoubtedly remain. 



6v Lanius ludovicianus. Loggerhead Shrike.— I have observed a 

 few of these birds every summer for several years in the vicinity of Cape 

 May and have no doubt that they breed there. 



66. Vireo olivaceus. Red-eyed Vireo.— Common. 



67. Vireo noveboracensis. White-eyed Vireo. — Very common in the 

 swamps where it is one of the most characteristic species. 



68. Mniotilta varia. Black-and-White Warbler. — Common through- 

 out the Pine Barrens. 



69. Compsothlypis americana. Parula Warbler. — Very common in 

 swampy locations wherever the Usnea is to be found.
