Annotated List 109 



our listmakers except Montgomery give it as resi- 

 dent and breeding; Hunt of Cupola, Wilson of 

 Gum Tree and Burn of Oxford, however, return 

 it as a w^inter visitant; virhich is in accord with the 

 observations of Stone, Montgomery and myself. It 

 is very erratic in arrival at Berwyn; Oct. 6 (19 14) 

 to Jan. 13, (1903) ; and departing Mar. 5 (1903) 

 to May I (1904). From Oct. 12, 1913, to Apr. 7, 

 19 14, it was really common at Berwyn, and is said 

 to have been present in unprecedented numbers at 

 West Chester. I took a pair in the Paoli barrens, 

 Dec. 10, 1892 (Nos. 362 and 363, coll. F. L. B.). 



237. Penthestes carolir.ensis carolinensis Caro- 

 lina Chickadee, "Carolina titmouse," "sapsucker," 

 "titmouse," "tit," "tomtit." Not common summer 

 resident. Dr. W. L. Hartman, formerly of West 

 Chester, now of Pittston; informs me that he took 

 six sets of four eggs each, in 1864 and 1865, and to 

 satisfy John Krider of Philadelphia that the nest 

 was that of the Carolina Chickadee, he shot the male 

 parent for him. I have found new nests near Ber- 

 wyn on May 6, 1888; May 16, 1889, and later 

 found pairs present, but no eggs have been taken.
