Nov. 1907. BIRDS FROM GUATEMALA DEARBORN. 127 



Family Miiiotiltltlfe. 



251. Mniotilta varia (Linn&us). 



One was taken March igth at Mazatenango and another, an adult 

 male, at Patulul March 3ist. A few were seen at Gualan February 

 1 5th. Black-and-white warblers winter here only in small numbers. 

 Iris dark brown. 



252. Helmintheros vermivorus (Gmeliri). 



A female was taken at Patulul April ad. No others were seen. 



253. Helminthophila pinus (Linnaeus}. 



One specimen was taken at Gaulan February i5th. Iris dark 

 brown. 



254. Helminthophila peregrina (Wilson). 



Tennessee warblers were abundant at Mazatenango, and six were 

 collected there between the igth and 2ist of March. Between 

 March 25th and April 2d three others were taken at Patulul. As 

 none were seen elsewhere, it seems probable that these specimens were 

 out of a migration wave sweeping up from a lower latitude. In the 

 series of eight, only one was a male, taken April 2d. All show a 

 condition of scattering moult on pileum, throat and interscapulum. 

 Iris dark brown. 



255. Helminthophila celata lutescens (Ridgway). 



One specimen was taken at 9,500 feet, near Tecpam, December 

 1 6th, by Mr. Barber. 



256. Oreothlypis superciliosa (Hartlaub). 



This species was rather common in the cypress-covered heights 

 above Tecpam, where three specimens were taken. It was usually 

 found in bushes and small trees at the edge of the forest or in partial 

 clearings. 



257. Compsothlypis americana ramalinae Ridgway. 



One was collected at Gualan, February 7th; and another at San 

 Jose March 7th. The latter was just beginning the spring moult on 

 forehead and auriculars.
