A FURTHER REVIEW OF THE AVIAN FAUNA 

 OF CHESTER COUNTY, SOUTH CAROLINA. 



BY I.EVERETT M. I.OOMIS. 



The present contribution to the ornithology of the Pied- 

 mont region of South Carolina resumes the subject as it was 

 left by the 'Partial List' (Bull. Nutt. Orn. Club, Vol. IV, Oct., 

 1879, pp. 309-31S) and the 'Supplementary Notes' (Auk, Vol. 

 II, April, 18S5, pp. 1S8-193). 



The centre and chief scene of observation, furnishing the ma 

 terial for this and tlie earlier papers, has been the vicinity of the 

 town of Chester, within a limit of five miles. Excursions have 

 been made at different times, particularly during winter, to out- 

 lying parts of the County along the Broad and Catawba Rivers. 

 These brief expeditions have revealed that a highly promisino- 

 field lies immediately at hand awaiting exploration in common 

 with the rest of the river portions of the Piedmont reo-ion. 

 Besides affording the only really suitable situations for water 

 birds in tlie County, these streams offer favorable avenues of 

 approach for characteristic species of the Low-Country, which 

 have not thus far been detected above the fall-line. 



Even in the narrow area where the most effort has been ex- 

 pended there is still much to be learned. At the close of four- 

 teen years, during which I have been able to devote much time 

 to field study, I realize fully the verity of what Gilbert White Ion"- 

 ago said, after more than forty years of observation at Selborne
