ZI Birds of Cincinnati and Vicinity. 
FAMILY, PARIDa—Titmice or Chicadees. 
14.* Lophophanes bicolor, Bon. TUFTED TITMOUSE. Resident; 
common from September till March. 
(15.) Parus atricapillus, L. BLACK-CAPPED CHICADEE. Winter 
visitor ? 
16.* Parus (atricapillus var.) carolinensis, Aud. CAROLINA 
CHICADEE. Resident. Roving over the country in loose flocks of 
a dozen or more, the Carolina Chicadees, accompanied by the Tufte 
ed Titmice, are a prominent feature of our winter Bird-fauna. Dur- 
ing the summer both are comparatively rare and chiefly confined to 
the woods. 
FAMILY, Sirripa—Nuthatches. 
17.* Sitta carolinensis, Gm. WHITE-BELLIED NUTHATCH., Res- 
ident ; very common, 
18. Sitta canadensis, L. RED-BELLIED NUTHATCH. Irregular 
winter visitor. 
FAMILY, CERTHIID&—Creepers. 
19. Certhia familiaris, L. BROWN CREEPER. Winter resident; 
common. 
FAMILY, TROGLODYTID&®— Wrens. 
20.* Thryothorus ludovicianus, Bon. GREAT CAROLINA WREN. 
Resident; common. Nests insheds, sparrow boxes, culverts, etc., 
and rears two or three broods in a season; the number of eggs is 
usually five. The song of the Carolina Wren much resembles that 
of the Cardinal Red-bird, and may be heard throughout the year. 
21. Thyothorus bewickii, Bp. BEWICK’S WREN. Rare summer 
resident ?+ 
Troglodytes sedon, V. HOUSE WREN. Only one specimen 
taken. Thedistribution of this species is somewhat peculiar in 
Ohio as elsewhere. Dr. Wheaton informs me that it is quite com- 
mon at Columbus but rare at Yellow Springs, being almost entirely 
replaced there by 7. ludovicianus, as it is in this locality. 
23. Anorthura troglodytes var. hyemalis, Cs. WINTER WREN. 
Resident from November till March; rather common, but oftener 
heard than seen, owing to its inconspicuous plumage and shy dispo- 
sition. 
24. Telmatodytes palustris, Cab. LONG-BILLED MARSH WREN. 
Probably a summer resident, but ouly observed, as yet, in spring. 
(25.) Cistothorus stellaris, Cab. SHORT-BILLED MARSH WREN. 
Included by Dr. Wheaton in his list as a rare ‘‘ summer resident’’ of 
the State; there can hardly be any doubt of its occurrence here in 
suitable localities.

not common.

at Brookville, Indiana, in April, 1877, by Mr. Edgar R. Quick.
