184 BIRDS OF BERMUDA. 



Length, 5.50; wing, 3.00; tail, 2.40. 



Hab. — Eastern United States to the Lower Missouri, north to Canada 

 and New Brunswick, but not to Labrador. Not recorded in West Indies, 

 except Bahamas. Bermuda. (Coues.) 



Has occurred in considerable numbers. A good many occurred ou 

 September 27, 1849, departing again in a few days. Several were cap- 

 tured outside the lantern of the light-house in the dark and rainy night 

 of the 5th September, 1850. On October 15, 1850, Colonel Drummond 

 obtained specimens from a large flock, which he observed coming in 

 from the sea and settling on some trees within the keep at Ireland 

 Island. Mr. Bartram has two specimens, one of which (a male in spring 

 plumage) was shot near his house and brought to him while I was pay- 

 ing him a visit on March 16, 1875. The species would seem, therefore, 

 to visit the islands on both migrations. 



Under date 4th February, 1878, Mr. Bartram writes to me : " Oue dark 

 stormy night last October, a Pine-creeping Warbler flew into the mu- 

 eeum; it is now alive and well, and eats bread and milk."

1 shot the first recorded specimen on the edge of Devonshire Swamp, 

 on the 19th October, 1874. This brought to light another, shot in 

 the autumn of 1873, aud set up in a case with Blue and Bed Birds by 

 Gibbs, an old soldier of the Fifty-third Kegiment, and an excellent tax- 

 idermist, in the service of Lieutenant Johnston, Royal Engineers. I 

 afterwards identified two others, killed a few years ago, in Mr. Bartram's 

 possession. The species was numerous in the autumn of 1874, in and 

 rear Dev^onshire Swamp, and I procured specimens on the 24th October
