in Sumter National Forest* In old broom sedge fields we found Bachaan's 
sparrows, and along the streams we found the usual types of birds occurring 
in such locals . Journeying southwestward along the Savanna Biver, m 
settled at McCormick. The Sumter national Forest offered us ample collecting 
grounds along the pine covered - rolling hills in McComick, Edgefield and 
Abbeville Counties. One of the most interesting finds was nesting blue- 
headed vireos. While here J. C. Calhoun of fforthwestern University joined : 
us to assist primarily in aaanal collecting. 
Is the mountain foms of birds were mow nesting, we moved north- 
westward to Walhalla whore we collected along the Chattooga Ridge in Oconee 
County. As these mountains are only slightly above 3000 ft. and are almost 
on the extreme southern end of Appalachian Range, they lack the firs typical 
of the Canadian Zone. Here we found golden-winged and worm-eating warblers 
and blue-headed vireos In abundance. 
The final area for the aiwr was in the vicinity of Caesar 1 s Head 
in Greenville County. We collected along Standing Stone, Caesar* s Head, 
Bradford, and Sassafras Mountains — the latter being about 3500 ft. in 
elevation and the crest of the state. The slopes are very steep and 
deciduoualy wooded and are more abundant in Canadian forms than the previous 
one despite the absence of typical Canadian flora. A few pairs of song 
sparrows were nesting there in addition to chestnut-sided warblers • This 
completed the spring and Btmmr investigation for the season, so we returned 
to Washington July 23. 
Accompanied by John Webb of the Division of Birds, I left for the 
fall collecting trip September 14. Our first stop was at Rock Hill, above 
the Fall Line. Most of our work was done along the rolling hills bordering 
the Catawba River and in the wooded bottom lands so typical of the Piedmont 
region. In spite of the unusually warn weather we found representative birds
