180 BIRDS OF BERMUDA. 



Length, 4.75; wing, 2.34; tail, 1.90. 



Hob. — Eastern North America, south to Guatemala, north to Nova 

 Scotia, west to Missouri, Mexico, West Indies, Greenland (Coues). 



This diminutive bird seems hardly fitted for a journey of 600 miles 

 across the ocean. Nevertheless, five examples are on record, viz, one 

 shot by Canon Tristram at Ireland Island, on April 21, 1849 ; one found 

 by Mr. Hurdis in 1853, in a collection of Bermuda skins sent to him for 

 examination ; two others seen by myself,- one being shot near Devon- 

 shire Swamp on October 19, 1874. My bird proved to be a male in 

 brilliant plumage; the other, probably a female, escaped. The two 

 were fluttering and creeping about at the extreme end of a large cedar 

 branch, like a veritable Parus. Mr. Bartram shot one near his house 

 on the 26th March, 1878.

1 had the pleasure of examining and identifying a specimen of this 

 handsome warbler, the only one yet obtained, in Mr. Bartram's collec- 

 tion. It was presented to him by Mr. Hyland, jr., of Saint George's, 

 who shot it, near that town, out of a small flock of the species, in the 

 autumn of 1874, and had just been preserved when I saw it.
