288 MEMOIRS OF THE NUTTALL ORNITHOLOGICAL CLUB. 



six years I have found it not uncommonly in Ipswich and Hamilton, both in the 

 migrations and in the breeding season. Its song resembles that of the Black- 

 throated Green Warbler. 



267 [645] Helminthophila rubricapilla (Wils.). 

 Nashville Warbler. 



Not uncommon summer resident, common transient visitor ; May 2 to 

 October 14 (January). 



Eggs : May 2 1 to June 2 1 . 



The January record is of a dead bird found at Swampscott by Mr. W. 

 Faxon 1 on January 31st, 1890. It had been hung in a barberry bush by a 

 Shrike, and had not been dead over two weeks. 



The Nashville Warbler breeds in several parts of the County as at Mag- 

 nolia, Topsfield, Andover, and Swampscott. In the latter place Mr. W. A. 

 Jeffries and the late Dr. J. A. Jeffries found a number of their nests. I quote 

 from their records of a nest found May 21st, 1878, containing five eggs. It 

 was " built deeply into a tussock of moss and grass at the foot of a bush in such 

 a way as to be partly overhung ; made of strips of cedar bark and a few dry 

 leaves and grasses, and lined with root fibers." 



268 [646] Helminthophila celata (Say). 

 Orange-crowned Warbler. 



Very rare transient or accidental winter visitor. 



There is only one record for the County, that of a young bird taken in 

 Lynn^ on January ist, 1875, and now in the collection of the Boston Society of 

 Natural History. According to Howe and Allen there are only three other 

 records for the State.
