244. Helminthophila leucobronchialis. Brewster's 

 Warbler. — A typical male specimen of this bird was taken by 

 Mr. William Palmer, May 15, 18S5, near Fort Meyer, Arlington, 

 Alexandria County, Virginia (The Auk, Vol. II, p. 304). 



245. Helminthophila ruficapilla. Nashville Warb- 

 ler. — Rare in the migrations. In the neighborhood of Wash- 

 ington, it has been not often met with, but was not uncommon in 

 the spring of 1882. During Mr. Brewster's visit to Ritchie 

 County, West Virginia, from April 25th to May 9, 1874, he re- 

 ported one or two specimens seen every day but it was by no 

 means common. Two specimens were obtained May 7th and 

 May 8, 18S3, ^y Rev. W. E. Hill near Fairview, Hancock 

 County, West Virginia. 



246. Helminthophila celata. Orange-crowned Warb- 

 ler. — An adult specimen of this bird was secured by Dr. A. K. 

 Fisher at Munson's Hill, Virginia, on October 13, 1889 (The 

 Auk, Vol. VII, No. I, p. 96). Captain C. H. Crumb informs me 

 of the capture of a specimen at Cobb's Island in the fall of 1887. 



247. Helminthophaga peregrina. Tennessee Warb- 

 ler. — Said to be a very rare spring and autumn migrant around 

 Washington. One was shot at Arlington, Virginia, by Mr. 

 William Palmer, September 28, 18S2. Mr. Doan says he ob- 

 tained a young female near Fairmont, West Virginia, September 

 J2, 1888. 



248. Compsothlypis americana. Blue Yellow-backed 

 Warbler. — Common in the Virginias during the migrations, 

 arriving in spring about the 20th of April ; is seen in autumn 

 until early in October. Many remain during the summer, es- 

 pecially in the mountain region, and doubtless breed. 



249. Dendroica tigrina. Cape May Warbler. — Rare 

 migrant in eastern Virginia. Drs. Coues and Prentiss report the 

 capture of a single specimen at Washington, September 12th, 

 1859. In 18S2 no less than nine specimens were captured in 

 that neighbourhood during the second and third weeks in May. 

 Dr. Fisher informs me that it is sometimes comparatively common 

 in the fall near Washington. At Four Mile Run, Virginia, he 

 took half a dozen specimens September 29th, 1889. I have met 

 with several of these birds at Cobham, Albemarle County, early 

 in May, in 1879 and 18S4.
