LOOMIS. 



The only systematic ornithological work ever done in the Pied- 

 mont and Appalachian regions of the State is that of Mr. Leverett 

 Mills Loomis, who worked in the vicinity of Chester, Caesar's 

 Head, and Pickens county, between 1876 and 1892, when he re- 

 moved from the State. His work was published chiefly in the 

 Auk, and is admirably accurate and thorough. 



The following species have been added to the fauna of the State 

 by Mr. Loomis. It is of interest in this connection that four of 

 these species have been taken in the coast region by Mr. Wayne. 



1. Lobipes lobatus. Northern Phalarope. 



2. Xanthocephalus xanthocephalus. Yellow-headed Blackbird. 



3. Euphagus cyanocephalus. Brewer's Blackbird. 



4. Quiscalus quiscula ceneus. Bronzed Crackle. 



5. Calcarius lapponicus. Lapland Longspur. 



6. Calcarius pictus. Smith's Longspur.

8. Dendroica dominica albilora. Sycamore Warbler.

 Kollock in letter to Mr. Loomis.)
