The Migration of Vireos 



167 



tion, wintering from the lower parts of South Carohna to central Florida. They 

 have received the name of the Mountain Vireo, and they migrate earlier in the 

 spring than the typical Blue-headed form. Near Asheville, N. C, at two thousand 

 feet altitude, they appear on the average, March 10, while the Blue-headed 

 does not reach Raleigh, N. C, until two weeks later, thus reversing the usual 

 rule that birds on the lowlands arrive earlier than those of the same latitude in 

 the mountains.
