DELAWARE VALLEY ORNITHOLOGICAL CLUB. 27 



Barred Owl, Syrnium varium (Barton) obviously from Phila- 

 delphia. Barton, in his curious " Fragments of Natural His- 

 torj'," names it as new. 



Wilson had so thoroughly scoured Pennsylvania that but 

 little was left for Audubon to discover in this neighborhood, 

 and we find most of his noveltios described from the south or 

 west. There are, however, the following: 



Pine Warbler, Dendroica vigorsii (Aud.). This is the Sylvia 

 vigorsii of Audubon obtained on the Perkiomen Creek. The 

 bird was known before, but none of the older names are avail- 

 able. 



Trudeau'sTebn, Sterna Inuleaui (Aud.). Obtained at Great 

 Egg Harbor, N. J. A pure straggler from the south. 



Cuvier's Kixglet, liegidus cavieri (Aud.). Fatland Ford, 

 Schuylkill River, June 8, 1812. This unique bird was not pre- 

 served, and the like of it no one else ever saw. 



Towxsend's Buntino, Emheriza iownsendii (Aud.). New 

 Garden, Chester Co., Pa. A probable hybrid. The unique 

 type is still preserved in the National Museum. 



Since the time of Audubon but three new birds have been 

 discovered in eastern Pennsjdvania. These are as follows : 



Philadelphia Vireo, Vireo philadelphkm (Cassin). Type 

 secured by John Cassin, September, 1842, in Bingham's Woods, 

 where Horticultural Hall now stands in West Fairmount Park, 

 Philadelphia. See Proceedings of the Academy of Natural 

 Sciences, Philadelphia, v, Feb., 1851. 



Least Flycatcher, Empidonax vnnimus (Baird). 



Yellow-bellied Flycatcher, Empidonax flaviventris (Baird). 



Both obtained at Carlisle, Pa., by \Vm. IM. and Spencer F. 

 Baird, and described by them in the Proceedings of the Phila- 

 delphia Academy, July, 1843.
