2 74 Chapman on Birds observed at Gainesville, Florida. rJ"ly 



Mr. Majnard's southern form of the Ye How- winged Sparrow (Animo- 

 dramus australis), is described as being "similar to the northern Yellow- 

 wing, but smaller, darker, and in all stages of plumage streaked across 

 the breast."* Mj series of fifteen specimens average, wing, 2.36 ; tail, 1.81 ; 

 tarsus, .71. Three of these have streaks on the breast, but none are more 

 heavily marked than a specimen in my collection taken at Englewood, 

 N. J., with which they agree in size, and none are darker than any north- 

 ern specimens I have seen. 



98. Zonotrichia albicollis. White-throated Sparrow. — Common, 

 as late as April 27. 



99. Spizella socialis. Cihpping Sparrow. — Abundant in large flocks 

 at the borders of fields. 



100. Spizella pusilla. Field Sparrow. — A common winter resident, 

 found in the same situations as the last. I saw none after April 16. 



loi. Peucsea aestivalis. Pine-woods Sparrow. —Arrived March 31. 

 Common in only one locality, a high, open palmetto pinery, where, May 

 21, a nest with four fresh eggs was found. 



loi a. Peucaea aestivalis bachmanii. Bachman's Sparrow. — Three 

 were taken during the winter in a 'black-jack' pinery; March 25, one was 

 captured at the edge of a palmetto pinery, and on the 26th one in an open 

 field a mile or more from the nearest pines. These last were probably 

 migrants, as both were found in localities which had before been thorough- 

 ly searched. 



102. Melospiza fasciata. Song Sparrow. — Common in thickets 

 everywhere. Last noted March 31. 



103. Melospiza georgiana. Swamp Sparrow. — Few were found in 

 low or swampy ground, but in certain old fields the\' were very abundant. 

 Two seen April 27 were the last noted. 



104. Pipilo erythrophthalmus. Towhee. — Abundant up to the date 

 of its departure, April 27. 



104 a. Pipilo erythrophthalmus alleni. White-eyed Towhee. 'Joree. 

 — Common. Not found associated with the preceding, which inhabit 

 thickets in or near hummocks, while alleni prefers the dense growths o 

 scrub palmetto in the pineries. The difference in their calls is marked, and 

 the familiar ckewink of erytlirophthalmtis is easily distinguished from 

 the clear, whistled, ckerwee of alleni, which gives it its local name of 

 'Joree.' 



105. Cardinalis cardinalis. Cardinal. — Abundant. The first song 

 was heard January 17, and on February i, they were in full song. April 

 17, a completed nest was found, and May 27, young just from the nest 

 were taken. 



106. Passerina cyanea. Indigo Bunting. — A female, captured Jan- 

 uary 27, was the only one observed. 



107. Piranga rubra. Summer Tanager. — Males in full song arrived
