159. LANIVIREO FLAVIFRONS (Vieillot) . 

 Yellow-throated Vireo. 



The first recorded specimen of this vireo was taken 

 at Greensboro, June 17, 1876. The stomach contained 

 "a worm and debris of beetles." 



"Not common. Has not been observed during the 

 summer by me, though Mr. Henry Young has found it 

 breeding near Greensboro. Three specimens were taken 

 by me last fall." (1891b). 



When the Doctor published the foregoing, he must 

 have forgotten his note of June 3, 1888, which follows : 



"Saw yellow-throated vireo (Vireo flavifrons). These 

 birds were in a gum thicket in an old field. I examined 

 one carefully with a field glass and saw distinctly the 

 yellow loral stripe and circumorbital ring of yellow, also 

 the yellow extending over chin, throat and breast; and the 

 white wing bars on median and greater coverts."
