with the silk of caterpillars, and the inside is lined with fine dry 

 grass and hair. The female lays five eggs, pure white, marked 

 near the great end with a very few small dots of deep black or 

 purple. They generally raise two brood in a season. They seem 

 particularly attached to thickets of this species of smilax, and make 

 a great ado when any one comes near their nest; approaching 

 within a few feet, looking down, and scolding with great vehe- 

 mence. In Pennsylvania they are a numerous species. 



The White-eye Flycatcher is five inches and a quarter long, 

 and seven in extent; the upper parts are a fine yellow olive, those 

 below white, except the sides of the breast, and under the wings, 

 which are yellow ; line round the eye, and spot near the nostril 

 also rich yellow; wings deep dusky black, edged with olive green, 

 and crossed with two bars of pale yellow; tail forked, brownish 

 black, edged with green olive; bill, legs and feet light blue; the 

 sides of the neck incline to a greyish ash. The female, and young 

 of the first season, are scarcely distinguishable in plumage from 

 the male.
