 which occurs as u straggler from Europe, by way of 

 Greenland, to the eastern portions of New England, es- 

 pecially along the coast. Mr. Cassin has recorded it from 

 Nova Scotia, and I found it in Labrador. Long Island,

MOTACILLID^. 



Anthus Liidovicianus Licht. — Tit-lark. — Chiefly spring^ 

 and autumn migi-ant. Abundant. Some probably winter 

 in the Connecticut Valley, and a few may possibly breed 

 high up in Maine. B}^ far the greater number, however, 

 go farther north to breed, and farther south to pass the 

 winter.

Regulus satrapiis Licht. {Regidus crif^tatus and R. tri- 

 color of Linsley, p. 256.) — Golden-crested Kinglet. 

 Common winter resident, except perhaps in the extreme 

 north, where some doubtless breed. Is most abundant, 

 however, in all localities, in spring and fall. 



PolioptUa coiridea Sclat. — Blue-gray Gnat-catcher. A 

 rare and perhaps accidental summer visitor. "Found in 

 Mass., and as far north as the Canada line." {Breu\, 

 quoted hy Peab., p. 297.) — "Nova Scotia and Connec- 

 ticut." (AIL, p. 88.) (Omitted from Sam. O. O.) It is 

 very abundant as far north as the Middle States.
