28 THE NATURALIST IN BERMUDA. 
Captain Tolcher assured him that Mr. Harford, of his 
Regiment, had killed another specimen about the same 
time, which, from being very much mutilated, he had 
unfortunately thrown away. 
BLvE Birp (Sialia Wilsonit). Very common all the year 
round. They sometimes appear in much greater numbers, 
in various parts of the islands, especially in January and 
February. This may partly be from birds migrating from 
the American coast. On January 5th, 1848, I noticed 
them in large flocks, at Ireland Island. I shot a nearly 
white variety, on the 30th May, in the same year. 
WHEATEAR (Saxicola wenanthe). Mr. Hurdis mentions 
one as having been shot by Lieutenant Wood (20th Regi- 
ment), near the lighthouse, on the 5th October, 1846; un- 
fortunately, only the tail feathers were preserved; these 
’ were, however, sent to the late Mr. Yarrell, who said there 
could be no doubt as to the identity of the bird. Another, 
a female, was frequently seen by Colonel Drummond and 
myself, on the north shore, near St. George’s, in March, 1850; 
but it was so very shy, we could not manage to shoot it. 
YELLOW-CROWNED WooD WARBLER (Sylvicola coronata). 
A few specimens have been obtained. I killed two in 
Pembroke Marsh; and Mr. Hurdis shot one at Hungry 
Bay, January 24th, 1850. 
PINE-CREEPING WooD WARBLER (S. pinus). First noticed, 
September 27th, 1849, when a good many appeared on the 
Islands; they all disappeared by the beginning of October. 
Several of these birds were captured outside the lantern of 
the lighthouse, in the dark and rainy night of the 5th of 
September, 1850. 
YELLOW-RED-POLL Wood WARBLER (S. petechia). Only
