chuck-mills-widows were very common, and birdlife in general was 
much sore abundant than in previous areas. 
After, a fruitful stay in MardeevUle we moved northwestward 
into the piedmont region in the vicinity of Onion, working Union 
and Hewberry Counties in Sumter National Forest. In old broom-sedge 
fields we found B&ehman«s sparrows, and along the streams were the 
usual types of birds occurring in such localities, Journeying south- 
westward along the Savannah Elver, we settled at McCormick, when again 
the Sumter National Forest offered us ample collecting grounds over the 
pine covered rolling hills in McCormick, Mgef leld and Abbeville 
Counties. One of the raost interesting finds here was the nesting of 
the mountain vireos which we had known elsewhere only in more elevated 
regions in the mountains. While here J. C. Calhoun joined us to 
assist primarily in mammal collecting. 
As the mountain forms of birds were now located in their summer 
homes we moved northwestward to Walhalla where we collected along the 
Chattooga Ridge in Oconee County. As the mountains are only slightly 
above 3000 ft. and are almost on the extreme southern end of the

Head in Greenville County, where we collected along Standing Stone,
