probable that it breeds in this vicinity, but I have never seen it in 
summer. 
* 84. Zamelodia ludoviciana (Linn.), Rose-breasted Grosbeak. Infre 
quent migrant. I received, from a friend, two specimens in the flesh, 
Oct. 1, 1887, and I shot another May 5, 1888. 
85. Passerina cyanea (Linn.), Indigo Bunting. Common summer 
resident. (Earliest spring occurrences noted: May 4, 1887; May 8, 
1891; May 16, 1897). 
86. Piranga erythromelas (Vieill.) Scarlet Tanager. Infrequent 
summer resident, in thick woods. (Earliest spring date, May 6, 1887). 
87. Progne subis (Linn.), Purple Martin. Tolerably common sum- 
mer resident. (Arrives in the spring about the first half of April). 
87. Petrocheliodon lunifrons (Say), Cliff Swallow. Infrequent sum- 
mer resident, more abundant during the migrations. 
89. Chelidon erythrogaster (Bodd.), Barn Swallow. Abundant sum- 
mer resident. (Earliest spring arrivals: April 21, 1886; April 12, 
1887 ; April 7,1888; April 21,1889; April 17, 1891. - Bulk arrived: 
April 28, 1886 ; May 2, 1887. All depart in the fall at or before the 
first week in October). X 
90. Tachycineta bicolor (Vieill.), Tree Swallow. I shot two speci- 
mens and saw two others on April 25,1891, by the Brandywine, and 
saw another three days later in West Goshen. It is strange that it 
should be so infrequent here, while it is so abundant during the migra- 
tions in other portions of eastern Pennsylvania. 
91. Clivicola riparia (Linn.), Bank Swallow. Infrequent migrant. 
92. Stelgidopteryx serripennis (Aud.), Rough-winged Swallow. Com- 
mon summer resident along the Brandywine. 
93. Ampelis cedrorum (Vieill.), Cedar Waxwing. Common migrant 
in the spring and fall; a few breed here. I have seen it only once in 
the winter, Jan. 13,1886, (Earliest spring arrivals: March 14, 1889 ; 
March 1, 1890). 
94. Lanius borealis (Vieill.), Northern Shrike. A rather infrequent 
and irregular winter visitant, from November until the middle of 
March, but in 1890 I saw one as late as April 6th. 
95. L. ludovicianus (Linn.), Loggerhead Shrike. I shot two adult 
males, March 28, 1895, in West Goshen (these are now in the collection 
of the Acad. Nat. Sci. Philada). This is the only published occurrence 
of this species in Chester Co., and the second, of late years, for eastern 
Pennsylvania, 
96. Vireo olivaceus (Linn.), Red-eyed Vireo. Abundant summer 
resident, more numerous than any other species of the family. (Earliest
