Several examples are recorded in "The Naturalist iu Bermuda." 

 Three of these were shot on Somerset Island by Captain Tolcher, Fifty- 

 sixth Eegiment, out of a flock of more than a hundred birds. In the 

 Bartram collection are four specimens. It was the commonest species 

 I met with in November and December, 1874, in the course of my even- 

 ing rambles among the cedar groves of Devonshire parish. Here I 

 obtained a few specimens, and could have shot many more had I Avished. 

 They were rather shy, and flew rapidly from tree to tree, with a loud 

 "chip" of alarm, showing the brilliant yellow of the rump plainly. 

 Those I shot were all in winter plumage, the yellow crown concealed by 

 brown leathers. 



10. Dendroica castanca, (Wils.) Bd. Bay-breasted Warbler. 



Sylvia castanea, Wils., Bp., Nutt., Aud. 



Sylvicola castanea, Rich., Bp., Aud., Hoy. 



Mniotilta castanea, Gray.

Rab. — Eastern Provinces of North America to Hudson's Bay ; Guate- 

 mala, south to Isthmus of Darien. Not recorded from Mexico or West 

 Indies. (B. B. & R.) 



A young bird in the Bartram collection is the sole representative of 

 the species. It is in obscure plnmage, but shows the buffy tint on the 

 sides of the body so characteristic of the species.
