A well-known winter visitant to Southern Mexico, where it has been noticed by 
many collectors. In Guatemala it never came under our own observation or that of 
any of the bird-hunters employed by us; but as long ago as 1848, and again in 1851, 
the late Don José Constancia sent specimens to Strickland from Guatemala, which are 
still in his collection at Cambridge". The bird has never been traced south of this 
point, nor is there any record of its occurrence in the West Indies. 
Under the name of the Nashville Warbler, H. ruficapilla was long considered a rare 
species in the States and confined in its range to the Eastern province. Within the 
last few years, however, it has been traced throughout a much wider area, and found to 
occur in many parts of the Middle province, at Fort Tejon in California, in Arizona, 
and in the north, as a straggler, even in Greenland®. Its breeding-quarters, as far as at 
present known, lie chiefly in the New-England States, especially Massachusetts*; but 
Dr. Coues thinks that it may be found nesting much further south, in the Alleghany 
Mountains, in the Rocky Mountains, and in the sierras of California ®.
