336 Mr. P. R. Lowe on Birds collected 



was assured bj the owner that it breeds there. It 

 does not appear to differ from the form found elsewhere. 

 Considering the distant localities in which this bird is 

 found breeding, it appears to be a remarkably constant 

 species. 



1 have found nests and eggs in Bermuda. The eggs are 

 of a beautiful Egyptian blue colour. 



ViREO NOVEBORACENSis (Gmelin). 



I shot a single example of this bird, which was the only 

 one I saw. The throat and upper breast of this specimen 

 are of a deep buff. 



Colours of soft parts : — 



Mandibles silvery white. 



Maxilla dark horn-coloured. 



l^arsi bluish grey. 



Claws whitish. 



I am rather surprised that Mr. Ridgway docs not consider 

 Vi7'eo novehoracensis bermudianus Bangs a very satisfactory 

 subspecies, for I have a series of nine examples that I shot 

 in Bermuda, which, compared with birds from Florida shot at 

 the same season of the year, are, strikingly and constantly, 

 very much duller in coloration, and have not the same rich 

 yellow of the under parts. 



Mniotilta varia (Linn.). 



I contented myself with procuring two specimens of this 

 Black-and- White Warbler, a male and a female. It was 

 fairly abundant on the trees at the edges of the clearings. 

 It is met with in the winter throughout all the West-Indian 

 islands, and is far more like our Tree-creeper in habits than 

 a Warbler. 



Helmitherus vermivorus (Gmelin). 

 One adult male. 



This was the only example of this Warbler I saw. It is 

 a winter visitor from the Eastern United States.
