Xviii CONTKIBUTIONS FROM THE CHARLESTON MUSEUM. 



papers based upon field work on the coast, especially about Frog- 

 more. Unfortunately many of the records reported in these 

 papers are regarded by Mr. Wayne as open to serious question. 



Mr. Hoxie has added the following species to the fauna of the 

 State. 



1. Sterna ancethetus. Bridled Tern. 1 



2. Dendroica kirtlandii. Kirtland's Warbler. 



SMYTH. 



Mr. Ellison A. Smyth, Jr. did considerable ornithological work 

 in Charleston and vicinity, chiefly in the years 1886-1888. Many 

 of his records are cited in the text, and his publications are listed 

 in the bibliography. 



BREWSTER. 



Among ornithologists who have visited South Carolina dur- 

 ing the past thirty years Mr. William Brewster is of special im- 

 portance, not only for the work he has done in the State, but for 

 the continual encouragement and assistance which he has given 

 Mr. Wayne. 



Mr. Brewster has visited the State but three times, namely — 

 1883, two weeks in May; 1884, March to May; 1885, May. He has 

 added the following species to the fauna of South Carolina. 



1. Sterna ancethetus. Bridled Tern. 1 



2. Phalacrocorax carbo. Cormorant. 



3. Quiscalus quiscula aglceus. Florida Grackle. 



4. Passerherbulus nelsoni. Nelson's Sparrow. 2 



5. P. n. subvirgatus. Acadian Sharp-tailed Sparrow. 



6. Lanivireo solitarius alticola. Mountain Solitary Vireo. 2 



Through his intimate relation with Mr. Wayne, Mr. Brewster 

 has been more closely identified with the ornithology of South 

 Carolina since 1883 than any other worker outside the State. 



WAYNE. 



Mr. Wayne began serious ornithological work at the time of 

 Mr. Brewster's visit to Charleston in 1883, although he had been 

 interested in birds for many years previous. He worked with Mr. 

 Brewster in a search for Swainson's Warbler, which had practi-
