TRANSACTIONS OF THE

Vireo philadelphicus (626). Philadelpliia Vireo. 



"Not very common in the Atlantic States" (Key, 332). 

 " A regular but rather rare spring and fall migrant, arriving 

 here late in April or early in May ; after the 20th of May it is 

 seldom seen in Pennsylvania until it migrates southward in 

 September" (Birds Pa., 264). "A very rare migrant;" 10 

 specimens are recorded between September 11 ('80) and October 

 6 ('91) (Birds E. Pa. and N. J., 126). " One taken on the 

 Virginia side of the Potomac near Washington, on May 17, '88" 

 (AVm. Palmer, Auk, vi, 74). " Wm. Palmer also got one or 

 two additional ones, and J. D. Figgins shot one on September 

 16, '94, at Kensington, Md." (Richmond). 



Vireo gilvus (627). 



Warbling Vireo. 



Of local distribution, in some parts of Maryland it is a sum- 

 mer resident, but near Baltimore I have only found it as a 

 migrant. On May 5, '82 (Resler), one was taken, the only 

 spring note. In '94 I found it quite numerous in Druid Hill 

 Park on August 21, 22 and 24, and again on October 4 and 6, 

 but not between times. At Washington it is " a summer resi- 

 dent, not very common, from April 28 ('89) to September 10." 

 Mr. Figgins found it very common at Kensington, Md., on 

 August 23, '94 (Richmond). 



At St. Michael's, Talbot County, on June 15, '94, a pair 

 were very lively in a shade tree. At Hagerstowu, " the Red- 

 eye and Warbling Vireos are to be heard all through the long 

 summer days ; they both breed in town, but the Warbling is 

 decidedly the most common, staying with us from the first week 

 of May to October" (Small). In Cumberland, on June 4, '95, 

 quite a number were in the shade trees. 



Vireo flavifrons (628). Yellow-throated Vireo. 



Regular, but not very common summer resident, more numer- 

 ous during migrations. Noted from April 13 ('90, Pleasants) 

 to October 6 ('94). In Dorchester County they were numerous,
