SAXICOLIDA. — 
A. Sialia sialis. Quite common. Found mostly in the bottoms. 
Breeds. 
SYLVIIDZE. 
5. Polioptila cerulea. Rare. But half a dozen were seen or 
taken during the time spent here. Breeds, 
PARIDA. 
6. Parus atricapillus var. carolinensis. Common. Found 
everywhere. Breeds. Smaller than our more northern Parus atrica- 
pilus. Song much weaker and more broken. The bill averages in 
most specimens longer and more acute than in the true P. atricapillus, 
but these are the chief appreciable differences. 
7. Lophophanes bicolor. Common. Found everywhere, but 
most abundantly in the valleys. Breeds. 
SITTIDZ. 
8. Sitta carolinensis. Rather rare. One specimen taken and 
four others noted. All that were seen and taken were on the moun- 
tains. Probably breeds. 
TROGLODYTIDA. 
9. Thryothorus ludovicianus. Abundant. Some were found 
on the mountain sides, but they were by far more abundant in 
the valley. _Breeds. The young were taken fully fledged, the last of 
June. As before stated this species is here represented by its most 
northern form, and is much paler than individuals of the same spe- 
cies taken in Florida. 
SYLVICOLIDZ. 
10. Mniotilta varia. Very common and found everywhere. 
Breeds. The specimens taken average rather darker than those col- 
lected in Massachusetts. 
ll. Parula americana. Quite common. Found mostly on the 
mountains. The yellow of the breast extends farther down than n 
the more northern form of this species. 
12. Helmitherus vermivorus, Not rare. Found mostly in 
thickets along the river bank and but few on the mountains. Breeds.
