 our southern border at the end of Marcli | March 20, 1894; 

 March 28, 1805] departing in September and the early days 

 of October.

Family MNIOTILTID^. 



263. Mniotilta variaLinii. Black-and-white Creeper. 



An abundant migrant throughout the state, but in St, 

 Tammany and Tangipahoa parishes 1 have found young birds, 

 ill fairly large numbers and scarcely able to fly, in the early 

 days of July. I have no doubt but that they were hatched 

 in the gum-swamps of the vicinity. 



264. Protonotaria citrea Bodd. Prothonotary Warhler. 



An abTindant summer resident thronghout the entire 

 state; arriving within our southern border in March [earliest 

 date for New Orleans station March 15, 1894], leaving toward 

 the end of September. 



265. Helinaia swainsonii And. Swainson's Warhler. 



A summer resident in A^arious parts of tlie state. It was 

 obtained by Chas. Oalbraith [a collector of bird-skins for 

 millinery purposes] near Lewisburg, St. Tammany parish, in 

 March and April, 188G and 1887. I shot a male on June 4, 

 1888, near Amite, on the Tangipahoa river, and Messrs Kop- 

 man, Allison and Blakemore have found it rather common on 

 the right bank of the Mississippi, opposite New Orleans. It 

 has also been recorded from Bayou Sara. • 



266. Helniitherus vermivorus Gmel. Worm-eatino Warhler. 



A not very common summer resident. It arrives in the 

 beginning of A]n'il, and leaves in September. 



267. Helminthophilabachmani And. Baclimau''s Warhler. 



Mr. Charles CJalbraith's records, published in the Auk 

 [Vols.' IV and V|, are, thus far, the only notes on this species. 

 It is undoubtedly not only rare generally, but only a migrant 

 as well.
