Genus Peucsea And. 



48. P. sestivalis Cab. BACHMAN'S FINCH. Rather common. Those 

 obtained were found about the fences or brush p^iles in half cleared 

 fields. They were shy and quite difficult to secure from their habit of 

 diving into the nearest shelter when alarmed, or skulking, wren-like, 

 along the fences, dodging from rail to rail. One was observed sing- 

 ing from a fence stake, but seeing the intruder it stopped abruptly 

 and darted into a patch of weeds.

49. E. americana Bonap. BLACK-THROATED BUNTING. Quite 

 common about the borders of cornfields and along hedges. 



Genus Cyanospiza Bd. 



50. C. cyanea Bd. INDIGO BIRD. Exceedingly common every- 

 where except in the densely wooded bottoms. Several could often be 

 heard singing at once. 



Genus Cardinalis Bonap. 



51. C. virginianus Bonap. CARDINAL GROSBEAK. Very com- 

 mon everywhere ; more numerous than I observed it anywhere else. 

 Its clear whistle was heard from the top of tall trees in the gloomiest 

 portions of the bottoms, as well as from the border of the woods 

 near the farm houses. 



Genus Pipilo Vieill. 



52. P. erythroplithalmus Vieill. TOWHEE FINCH. Not uncom- 

 mon about partly cleared fields.
