Perry Counties but gives no positive record. Mr. R. Yonng 



seems to have taken the first set of this species in the 



state when he secured a set of two eggs, July 4, 1895 ,in 



Schuylkill. Mr. Witmer Stone, in the Proceedings of the 



Delaware Valley Ornithological Club for 1893 - '99, mentions 



it to be a regular breeder in Sullivan County, where a nest 



and eggs were collected in June, 1898. Later, Mr. J. D. 



finds 

 Carter A it to be an infrequent nester at Pocono Lake, Monroe 



County, while in Pike and Wayne Counties it has been observed 



to be a rare summer resident by Mr. Harrower and the author, 



and I have also observed one bird with young near La Anna in 



August, 1905. Mr. R. B. Simpson of Warren, Warren County, 



has had more experience with these birds than any other 



ornithologist in the state and has found it as a rare and 



somewhat irregular summer resident in Warren, Elk, and 



Forest Counties and has taken several sets of eggs near Warren, 



461. Myiochanes virens (Linn.). Wood Pewee. 



The Wood Pewee breeds in every county of the state, 

 being apparently most abundant in the section lying within 

 the Alleghanian life zone. In Philadelphia and lower Mont- 

 gomery Counties, it does not eeem to be as abundant as 

 elsewhere.
