pass northward to breed. A few pairs, however, probably nest in this 

 locality every year for I have seen individuals as late as June 10 on 

 Mount Lucas, and on one occasion saw a pair carrying materials for 

 building. Arrives April 18. Departs October 5. 



170 (637). Prothonotary Warbler. Protonotaria 

 citrea [Bodd.). 



A rare straggler from the south, recorded but once in this neighbor- 

 hood. On May 8, 1894, Prof. Phillips secured a specimen, which is at 

 present in his collection, No. 401. 



171(639). Worm-eating Warbler. Helmitherus ver- 

 mivorus (Gme/.). 



A very local and rather infrequently seen summer resident, prob- 

 ably breeding in the ravines and dry wooded slopes of the neighboring 

 hills, where it is not uncommon. On May 10, 1898, I took a male, and 

 another on May 5, 1901. Arrives about May i. Departs about 

 August 25. 



172 (641). Blue-winged Warbler. Helminthophila 

 pinus (Linn,). 



A common migrant and not infrequent summer resident. Although 

 there is no direct record of nests being found, this species undoubtedly 

 breeds in some numbers on Mount Lucas and Sorrel Mountain, where 

 it frequents the scrubby second growth woods and clearings. On sev- 

 eral occasions I have found broods of newly-fledged young as early as 

 June 10. Arrives about April 29, remaining until September 10. 



173 (642). Golden-winged Warbler. Helmintho- 

 phila chrysoptera (Linn.). 



A rather uncommon migrant during May and August, in habits and 

 choice of haunts closely resembling H. pinus. The birds appear from 

 May I to 20, and again late in August, remaining until about September 5. 



174 (645). Nashville Warbler. Helminthophila ru- 

 bricapilla [Wi/s.). 



A tolerably common migrant, frequenting the open and second 

 growth woods, the Nashville Warbler may be found from May 5 to 20, 

 and again from August 25 to October i.
