limit of this bird in the interior. It is not given by Kirtland in his 
list in 1838, but in 1852 (see page 193) he states that it breeds regularly 
in the vicinity of Cleveland. Mr. Read (i. ¢. Fam. Vis.) includes it in 
his list, apparently on the authority of Audubon, and in Proc. Philad. 
Acad., says it “occasionally nests here,’ probably referring to Dr. Kirt- 
land for authority. Mr. Langdon gives it as a ‘rare migrant in May.” 
Dr. Jasper took a specimen in this vicinity several years since. I have 
never met with it. It appears to be rare everywhere west of the Alle- 
ghenies. i 
It is said to frequent old fields with cedars and scrub pines, and to be 
peculiar in its notes and manners. The nest is placed in a low bush; it 
is built of leaves, fibres of bark, and vegetables, and lined with fine 
fibres and horse-hair. The eggs are from three to five, white, spotted 
with lilac, purple, and umber, and measure .68 by .48.
