Range. — Mountains of Carolina and Georgia; 
winters in Florida. 
Said to be larger and darker than solitari-ms 
proper. From all accounts, the habits, nests 
or eggs of this species differ in no wise from 
many of those of the northern Solitary Vireo, 
whose nests show great variations in size and 
material.

tarius lucasanus.

yellow. Their nesting habits or eggs will not 
differ from the others.

lus. 
Black-capped Vireo 
Range. — Central Texas north to Kansas; 
winters in Mexico. 
This peculiar Vireo has a black crown and sides of head, 
broken by a white eye ring and loral stripe; upper parts greenish, 
below white. They appear to be fairly common in certain 
localities of their restricted range, and nest at low elevations in 
mesquites or oaks, placing the nests in forks the same as other 
Vireos; they are of the ordinary Vireo architecture, lined with 
white grasses. The three or four eggs are pure white, unmarked. Size 
" .70 x .50. Data. — Comal Co., Texas, May 21, 1888, 4 eggs. Nest 
located in a scrub Spanish oak, 5 feet from the ground. 
631. White-eyed Vireo. Vireo griseus griseus. 
Range. — Eastern United States, breeding from the Gulf to northern United 
States. 
This Vireo has white eyes, as implied by its 
name, is yellowish green on the sides and with 
two prominent bars. They have no song, like 
the other Vireos, but a strange medley of notes 
resembling those of the Chat or Shrike. They 
nest near the ground in tan- 
gled thickets, making large 
nests for the size of the birds 
and not always suspended ; 
they are made of weeds, 
leaves, grass, bark or any 
trash. Their three or four 
eggs are laid late in May or White 
early in June; they are white, sparingly speck- 
led with brown; size .75 x .55. 
Range.- — Southern Florida. 
This grayer and paler variety nests in the 
same manner and the eggs are not distinct 
from those of the last form.
