which to desired to tie In with those collected in North Carolina along the 
sw riv^r during the previous year. On October 2 we moved eastward to 
Charaw to- work along the Pee Dee River. The extensive swamps along the 
river yielded many valuable specimens. 
On October 16 we moved southward to Jdiendalt to complete fh* 
work along the Savanna River. Through the courtesy of Kr. fi» B. fanee of 
Allendale gave us permission to collect on his farm we found an excellent 
concentration of blrdlife in the cypress mmps, open pine rcoods, and along 
the edges of the fields — all within a short radius which is most unusual 
for the coastal plain. Browi-headed nuthatches, red~cocaded woodpeckers, 
Bachman sp&riws, and other birds typical of thme habitats were quite 
numerous. 
The next tuo weeks were spent in Atlanta m>rking along the Lynch 
River, one of slow moving tributaries of the Pee Dee Elver. The final area 
centered around McClellanville in Charleston County where we had an excellent 
stay collecting in the salt marshes near Cap© Homaln Wildlife Sanctuary. 
Sharp- tailed and seaside sparrows, rails, and boat-tailed grackles were aeon 
in great numbers . In the interior we worked in the Francis Marion National 
Forest nhioh has an excellent growth of pine and scrub oak. The red-*eocaded 
woodpecker was ©ore abundant here than any area investigated. Equally 
abundant were wild ' turkeys -which are said to be the remnant of the original, 
wild strain native to United. .'States. 
Decmber 1 brou^it to a close the survey of the state and we 
returned to Washington December 2.
