Part 13

18. Whippoorwill. Antrostomus vociferus.--Undoubtedly common. I heard it only on Walden's Ridge, the only place where I went into the woods after dark.

19. Nighthawk. Chordeiles virginianus.--Common.

20. Chimney Swift. Chætura pelagica.--Abundant.

21. Ruby-throated Humming-bird. Trochilus colubris.--Common in the forests of Walden's Ridge. Seen but twice elsewhere. First seen April 28.

22. Kingbird. Tyrannus tyrannus.--Seen but three times--nine specimens in all. First seen April 29.

23. Crested Flycatcher. Myiarchus crinitus.--Noticed daily, with two exceptions.

24. Phoebe. Sayornis phoebe.--Common on Lookout Mountain and Walden's Ridge. Not seen elsewhere.

25. Wood Pewee. Contopus virens.--Very common. Much the most numerous member of the family. Present in good force April 27, and gathering nest materials April 29.

26. Acadian Flycatcher. Green-crested Flycatcher. Empidonax virescens.--Common.

27. Blue Jay. Cyanocitta cristata.--Scarce (for the blue jay), and not seen on Walden's Ridge!

28. Crow. Corvus americanus.--Apparently much less common than in Eastern Massachusetts.

29. Bobolink. Dolichonyx oryzivorus.--A small flock seen, and heard singing, April 27.

30. Orchard Oriole. Icterus spurius.--Common, but not found on Walden's Ridge.

31. Baltimore Oriole. Icterus galbula.--A single bird, at Chickamauga, May 3.

32. Crow Blackbird. Quiscalus quiscula?--Seen on sundry occasions in the valley country, but specific distinction not made out. Both forms--Q. quiscula and Q. quiscula æneus--are found in Tennessee. See Dr. Fox's List of Birds found in Roane County, Tennessee. "The Auk," vol. iii. p. 315. My own list of the Icteridæ is remarkable for its omissions, especially of the cowbird, the red-winged blackbird (which, however, I am pretty certain that I saw on the wing) and the meadow lark.

33. House Sparrow. English Sparrow. Passer domesticus.--Distressingly superabundant in the city and its suburbs.

34. Goldfinch. Spinus tristis.--Abundant. Still in flocks.

35. White-crowned Sparrow. Zonotrichia leucophrys.--Seen but once (May 1), two birds, in the national cemetery.

36. White-throated Sparrow. Zonotrichia albicollis.--Common. Still present on Walden's Ridge (in two places) May 13. Sang very little.

37. Chipping Sparrow. Doorstep Sparrow. Spizella socialis.--Common.

38. Field Sparrow. Spizella pusilla.--Common.

39. Bachman's Sparrow. Peucæa æstivalis bachmanii.--Common. One of the best of singers.

40. Chewink. Towhee. Pipilo erythrophthalmus.--Rather common. Much less numerous than I should have expected from the nature of the country.

41. Cardinal Grosbeak. Cardinalis cardinalis.--Seen daily, but seemingly not very numerous.

42. Rose-breasted Grosbeak. Habia ludoviciana.--A single female, May 11.

43. Indigo-bird. Passerina cyanea.--Very abundant. For the first time I saw this tropical-looking beauty in flocks.

44. Scarlet Tanager. Piranga erythromelas.--Common on the mountains, but seemingly rare in the valley.

45. Summer Tanager. Piranga rubra.--Common throughout.
