Gknus HELMINTHOPHILA Ridgway. 



104. Helminthophila ruficapilla (Wils.)- 



Nashville Warbler. 

 Common summer resident. 



Genus COMPSOTHLYPIS Cabanis. 



105. Compsothlypis americana (Linn.). 



Parula Warbler. (Blue Yellow-backed Warbler.) 

 Probably rare summer resident. I have never seen it except 

 during the spring migrations no later than May ii, and then only 

 rarely. Mr. H. H. Kendrick found an old nest last summer which 

 in my opinion was a nest of this species of warbler.

 Rare spring and autumn migrant. I have never seen but one 

 bird of this species in Meriden (Yale's Woods, May 26th, 1885).
