ed. 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 tangled 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 early in June; they are white, sparingly speckled
with brown; size .75 x .55.

631a. KEY WEST VIREO. _Vireo griseus maynardi._

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.

631b. BERMUDA VIREO. _Vireo griseus bermudianus._

Range.--Bermudas.

This variety is said to be slightly smaller and to have no yellow on the
sides. Its eggs are probably the same as those of the others.

631c. SMALL WHITE-EYED VIREO. _Vireo griseus micrus._

Range.--Eastern Mexico north to southern Texas.

Said to be slightly smaller and grayer than the common White-eyed Vireo.
Its eggs will not differ.

632. HUTTON'S VIREO. _Vireo huttoni huttoni._

Range.--Resident on the California coast; chiefly in the southern parts.

A similar species to _noveboracensis_ but with the under parts tinged
with yellow. These birds are quite common but shy, nesting at any height
from the ground in open woods or groves; the nests are made of grasses
and moss and swung from forked limbs; the three or four eggs are pure
white, finely specked with reddish brown. Size .70 x .50.

632a. STEPHEN'S VIREO. _Vireo huttoni stephensi._

Range.--Northwestern Mexico and the boundary of the United States.

This variety, which is more yellowish than the last, appears to be
rather uncommon but as far as I can learn its habits and nesting do not
differ from those of the other Vireos; the eggs are white, specked with
brown. Size .70 x .50.

632c. ANTHONY'S VIREO. _Vireo huttoni obscurus._
