Nos. 523, 364, ?. Essex Co. S. Jillsou, 1855. 



Geothlypis Philadelphia Baird. — Mourning Warbler. 

 Rare summer resident. Not often detected farther north 

 than Massachusetts ; in which state numerous instances 

 of its capture are recorded. (Waterville, Me. ; breeding ; 

 July; Haml., p. 3. — Hamilton, C. W., McIL, p. 85'.) 



Oporornis af/ilis Baird. — Connecticut Warbler. Of 



very rare occurrence as a summer visitor, doubtless breed- 



ino- at least as far north as Massachusetts. {Emm., p. 3 ; 



Peah., p. 312 ; Patn., p. 226 ; Sam., p. 6 ; All., p. 82.) 



No. 522, $, Lynn, Essex Co. S. Jillson. Sept., 1856. 

 No. 521, ?, " " " " " 



Oporornis formosa Baird. — Kentucky Warbler. The 

 occurrence of this species as a rare or casual summer vis- 

 itor in southern New England is to be confidently antici- 

 pated. (Near New York City, Lawrence, Ann. Lye. Nat. 

 Hist., N. Y. viii, 1866, p. 284.) I have found it breed- 

 ing at Washington, D. C. 



Protonotaria citrea Baird. — Prothonotary Warbler. A 

 summer visitor ; rare, and perhaps accidental. "Calais, Me. , 

 Oct. 30, 1862 ;" {Boardm., Verr., B. S. N. H., ix, p. 234, 

 only recorded instance) . It is properlj^ a bird of the South 

 Atlantic States, and its occurrence in New England must be 

 regarded as exceptional. (Omitted from Sam O. 0.)
