TROGLODYTIDiE. 



11. Thryothorus Bewickii var. spilurus Baird. Common 

 during August and September ; gradually going lower down the foot 

 hills in October. Not common in November. Frequents bushy hill- 

 sides, rarely coming around the houses. I heard one singing in 

 October with a very powerful voice for such a small bird. 



12. Troglodytes aedon var. Parkmanni Coues. Park- 

 mann's Wren. Not common; shot one specimen in an orchard in 

 October. 



13. Helminthophaga ruflcapilla Baird. Nashville War- 

 bler. Shot a male the last of September. 



14. Dendroeca sestiva Baird. Yellow Warbler. Abundant 

 about gardens and orchards, habits the same as in the East. 



15. Dendroeca nigrescens Baird. Black-throated Gray 

 Warbler. Common during September and October. Migrated the 

 first of November. Frequents oak woods, where it was a characteris- 

 tic species and seemed to prefer the lower to the higher branches. 



16. Dendroeca Auduboni Baird. Audubon's Warbler. Not 

 seen until the first of October; after this it became very abundant, 

 frequenting large oaks. Its habits resemble those of the Yellow- 

 rumped Warbler (D. coronata Gray). 



17. Geothlypis Philadelphia var. Macgillivrayi All. 

 Macgillivray's Warbler. Not common. Obtained two specimens in 

 September. 



18. Myiodioctes pusillus Bonap. Green Black-capped Fly- 

 catcher. One specimen obtained in pine woods the last of Septem- 

 ber. 



TANAGRIDiE. 



19. Pyranga ludoviciana Bonap. Louisiana Tanager. Rare. 

 One specimen shot in October from a pine tree. 



HIRUNDINIDiE. 



20. Hirundo horreorum Barton. Barn Swallow. Common 

 during August and September. I scarcely ever noticed them until 

 late in the afternoon, when they could be seen skimming along the 

 ground in pursuit of insects.
