56. Contopus virens. Not very common. Found almost ex- 
clusively on the mountains. Breeds. 
57. Empidonax acadicus. Rather common. But not easy 
to obtain, as they frequent the more secluded parts of the forest, 
where, though often heard, they are rarely seen. The note is of two 
measures. ‘The first rather prolonged and soft, while the second is 
very short and sharp and quickly given. It does not at all resemble 
the note of H. minimus, being much louder and clearer. LZ. minimus 
was not seen during the time spent here.
