 Countries, it is an inhabitant of the Columbia River district, where it 

 was found by Dr Townsend. 



CAROLINA TITMOUSE. 



Parus caroliniensis.

It is now ascertained that this species reaches eastward as far as 

 the State of New Jersey, where it has been prociu-ed by my friend 

 Edwaed Harris. On the other hand, it is abundant from South Ca- 

 rolina to within the Texas, in the wooded portions of which I found it 

 breeding. A nest presented to me by Dr Bachman, who found it in a 

 hollow stump, at the height of about four feet from the ground, is cup- 

 shaped, two inches in diameter at the mouth internally, three externally, 

 its depth two inches. It is composed of fine wool, cotton, and a few 

 fibres of plants, felted together so as to be of viniform thickness through- 

 out. The eggs are pure white.
