20. Hirundo erythrogastra Bodd. Barn Swallow.—This species was observed to be quite common about Jackson together with the next.
21. Tachycineta bicolor (Vieill.) Caban. White-bellied Swallow.—Seen flying about the outskirts of Jackson.
22. Cotile riparia (Linn.) Boie. Bank Swallow.—Seen at various points along the Mississippi River near Memphis.
23. Pyranga æstiva (Linn.) Vieill. Summer Redbird.—A male of this species was shot at Memphis, another at Vicksburg, and a male and a female at Jackson. It is apparently a very common bird.
24. Spizella pusilla (Wils.) Bonap. Field Sparrow.—A single specimen of this species was shot at Jackson. Its occurrence there at that season was hardly to be expected. This individual may have been left behind in its winter quarters by its migrating comrades; or it may be that the species will be found to breed even as far south as Jackson.
25. Cardinalis virginianus (Briss.) Bonap. Cardinal Grosbeak.—One of the most conspicuous birds at every point visited.
26. Passerina cyanea (Linn.) Gray. Indigo Bunting.—The Indigo Bird was observed at Memphis, and again at Jackson.
27. Passerina ciris (Linn.) Gray. Painted Bunting.—This beautiful bird was seen at the crossing of the Vicksburg and Meridian R. R. over the big Black River, and again at Jackson. Females were shot at both places, but the males eluded capture. They seem to be quite common.
28. Spiza americana (Gm.) Bonap. Black-throated Bunting.—Seen in the lowlands along the river in Louisiana opposite Vicksburg.
29. Agelæus phœniceus (Linn.) Vieill. Red-wing Blackbird.—Very abundant in the swamps in the vicinity of Vicksburg.
