five; "this and the preceding species are very rare in Northern Indiana'" (A. W. 

 Butler); S. E. White saw one of these on Mackinac Island July 1, 1889. Hel- 

 minthophila leucobronchialis {Brewst,), which has been reported from Michigan, 

 (The Auk, Vol. I. pp. 359-363), is now regarded as a hybrid between this and 

 the next species, as I learn from Prof. J. A. Allen. The same is doubtless true 

 of the bird described as Helminthophila gunnii in the Grand Rapids Daily 

 Democrat, June 1, 1879. 



277-(>4'2-(l02). Helniiiitliopliila clirysoptera {Linn.). * Golden-winged Warb- 

 lkr; Blue Golden- winged Warbler. 



Throughout the state; May to August; "common summer resident in Monroe 

 Co." (Jerome Trombley); " Mackinac Island " (S. E. White); " have found nests 

 with four eggs at Plymouth'' (J, B. Purdy); breeds; nests in May, on the ground; 

 eggs four to five, rarely six; one of our most beautiful warblers. Dr. M. Gibbs 

 writes me that he has taken many nests in Kalamazoo Co.; " common summer 

 resident at Albion " (O. B. Warren); Mr. Davie says that Mr. J. P. Norris has 

 a set of four eggs from Monroe Co., Michigan, and a set of five from near 

 Detroit (Nests and Eggs of North American Birds, p. 360). 



278-646-(10(> part ). Helmiuthophila rulicapilla {Wils.). *Nashville Warbler. 



Rather common; migrant; May; "'very common migrant in Lake Co., Indiana, 

 and also a rare resident'" (Dr. Brayton's Birds of Indiana, p. 105); "not very 

 common at Port Sanilac, but I took one nest in 1892 with four eggs'" (W. A. 

 Oldfield); "often common in Monroe Co." (Jerome Trombley); "two picked up at 

 Bay City under electric light tower" (N. A. Eddy); "rather common migrant in 

 Wayne Co.'" (E. W. Durfee); "Mackinac Island where it breeds"" (S. E. White); 

 •'breeds at Palmer" (O. B.Warren); "common at Iron Mountain" (E. E. Brewster); 

 probably breeds in the Northern Peninsula; nests in June, on the ground; eggs 

 three to five; feeds on insects; beneficial. 



279-646(107). Helminthophila celata {Say). * Orange-crowned Warbler. 



Rare; May and September; migrant; this one is easily mistaken for the last 

 mentioned species; "Plymouth"" (J. B. Purdy); "one killed at Bay City in spring 

 by electric light tower"' (N. A. Eddy); "common but migrant at Ann Arbor" 

 (Dr. A. K. Fisher); reported several times by Dr. Atkins at Locke. 



280 647-(10J>)' Helminthophila pereg:rina {Wils.). * Tennessee Warbler. 



Not common; " rare in Monroe Co."' (Jerome Trombley); " one taken under electric 

 light tower at Bay City, October 2, 1889. Hundreds of Warblers were killed during 

 the night, seven different species were Vn-ought to me. The night was clear, the 

 moon bright, and there was little wind "' (N. A. Eddy); taken at Plymouth by 

 J. B. Purdy; May and September and October; "have taken a few on Keweenaw 

 Point. July 12. 1893'' (E. W. Durfee); migrant; ''breeds near L'Anse. Upper 

 Peninsula" (Prof. Ludwig Kumlein); often mistaken for the Nashville Warbler. 

 S. E. White finds this common in late September, and late October at Mackinac 

 Island, where it is also a migrant.
