THE RED-EYED VIREO. 
( VIREOSYLVIA OLIVACEA.) 
Rejected from the B.O.U. List. 
Recorded in a Note by Newton. 
Onnoticed by Seebohm. 
This is another of those instances where two exam- 
ples were taken at the same time and place; it is 
highly improbable that they had escaped in com- 
pany from a cage; moreover it is not a bird probably 
that would thrive in confinement, if strictly insectivor- 
ous; the only question seems to be whether the genuine 
occurrence is authentic. And upon this Professor Newton 
throws no shadow of distrust. Whilst Harting states that 
the pair were trapped by a bird catcher in May, 1859. 
And that the male is in the collection of Mr. E. Brown, 
of Burton-upon-Trent: there is an account in Mosley’s 
Natural History of Tutbury. 
The eggs are of singular beauty; elongated, purest 
white, sparsely spotted with claret. My clutch was taken 
in Philadelphia, on June 14, 1879. The clutch is five, 
and the nests are built in trees at an altitude of from ten 
to fifty feet. 
SAVI’S WARBLER. 
(LocusTELLA LUSCINOIDES.) 
Mr. Seebohm says the eggs of ‘ Luscinoides’ somewhat 
closely approach those of the Grasshopper Warbler; but 
are always browner—from .8 to .75 inches in length. 
Professor Newton gives a larger measurement .84.
