250 Palmer, Our Small Eastern Shrikes. rtuiv 



scripts left by the late E. A. Small there is a note of its occurrence 

 in Washington County in summer. In Virginia it is a winter 

 visitor, and migrant over the whole tidewater region to the foot- 

 hills of the Blue Ridge. In the valley of Virginia it is a summer 

 resident, wintering in mild winters in the southern portion. It 

 breeds commonly in Nelson County (W. R. Robinson ^); in War- 

 ren County (G. S. Miller, Jr. -) ; in Rappahanock County (Prof. 

 F. E. L. BeaP) , and in Fanquier County (R. Ridgway^). In 

 North Carolina it is confined in summer to the western portion 

 along the foothills. It is entirely absent in summer at Raleigh, 

 though a winter visitor there (Brimley Bros.*), but is a common 

 breeder further west at Statesville (R. B. McLaughlin*). It 

 doubtless occurs further south, both as a breeder and winter resi- 

 dent, but I have no sure instances. From Montreal (Wintle*) to 

 Ottawa (Prof. Macoun -), County Perth (Kells), and Kingston, 

 Ontario (Dr. C. K. Clark.*), it occurs through most of Michigan 

 and Wisconsin to Minneapolis, thence to the Ohio River, almost 

 every record being a breeding one. It has been recorded only as 

 a migrant from Kentucky (Fulton, Warren, and Nelson Counties) . 

 I have seen three specimens from Tennessee (Roane County 

 and Nashville), all winter birds. West of the Mississippi it 

 undoubtedly occurs in suitable places to the edge of the Plains, 

 but records are very few and uncertain. 



The Loggerhead is abundant throughout Florida and along the 

 Atlantic Coast into North Carolina, and probably into Virginia on 

 the shores of the Chesapeake region. Robinson's record for 

 Chesterfield County ^ may include this bird for the summer resi- 

 dent. It occurs along the coasts of Western Florida and of Ala- 

 bama, extending up the valleys of the latter State for a consider- 

 able distance, probably above the 100-foot contour, Wilcox County 

 (Rev. H. E. Wheeler"); Shelby County (C. F. Witherby"); and 

 Butler and Antanga Counties (Dr. D. L. Wilkinson®), I have
