494 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACADEMY OF [1895 



inclusive. An abundant species everywhere. Chilhowee Moun- 

 tains; Laugdon. 



Family MNTOTILTIDJE. 

 Genus MNIOTILTA Vieillot. 



163. Mniotilta varia (L.). Black and White Warbler. 



An abundant summer resident, with the same distribution as the 

 White-eyed Vireo, but ranging higher on Roan Mountain, viz., up 

 to 3,500 feet. Chilhowee Mountains, 3,000 feet, Langdon. 



Genus PROTONOTARIA Baird. 



164. *Protonotaria oitrea (Bodd.). Protkonotary Warbler. 



Abounding in the Mississippi Bottoms and along the nearer tribu- 

 taries. Probably found nearly across west Tennessee. Breeding at 

 Hamburg, Memphis and Raleigh. Five specimens preserved and a 

 set of eggs. 



Genus HELINAIA Audubon. 



165. *Helinaia swainsonii (And.). Swainson's Warbler. 



Several heard and a few seen in the cane bottoms of Wolf River 

 near Raleigh, where it was breeding. Two males, after the most 

 persistent and tiresome stalking, were brought down. From the 

 nature of the swamps and bayous of the Tennessee River it may 

 be safely predicted that this bird will be found in nearly every 

 county between its western valley and the Mississippi. 



Genus HELMITHERUS Eafinesque. 



166. Helmitherus vermivorus (Gruel.). Worm-eating Warbler. 



Migrants noted at Samburg and Raleigh. Did not see it in the 

 east, but Langdon notes it in Blount County up to 4,000 feet, 

 breeding in the mountains. Fox's records for Roane County were 

 made during April. 



Genus HELMINTHOPHILA Ridgway. 



167. Helminthopkila pinus (L.). Blue-winged Warbler. 



I saw this bird at Raleigh and thence eastward across the State 

 to, and including, Knoxville. It was not abundant anywhere. 



168. Helmintbophila ckrysoptera (L. ). Golden -winged Warbler. 

 Breeding at Sawyer's Springs, Harriman and Allardt. Also 



noted at Knoxville. Not common. Monroe, Blount, Cooke and 

 Roane Counties; Lemoyne.
