AMEKICAX WAHBI.ERS. ' 97 



common at Upton in summer until 1875, v/lien they disap- 

 peared. They still breed, however, in otherportions of North- 

 ern New England. Recently nests have been discovered in 

 Canada. 



Song. During migration I have never heard the Tenn- 

 essee Warbler sing, but on their breeding grounds at Upton 

 they were in full song. The lay resembles that of the Nash- 

 ville somewhat, inasmuch ns it has two parts, but the first is 

 more divided and the last shriller. The male when singine 

 is usually perched on the top of a high tree. 



Migration and Breeding Range. The Tennessee War- 

 bler breeds throughout Eastern North America from the lati- 

 tude of Northern New England northward. Dr. Faxon re- 

 cords seeing it on Mount Graylock, Massachusetts, at an ele- 

 vation of 3,000 feet, on July 15 and 16, 1888, thus it may breed 

 there. In migation it passes through Massachusetts in spring 

 from May 10 to the 30; in autumn, from late August until 

 early September, On September 7, 1875, I found it at Wat- 

 sontown, Pennsylvania, and saw it as late as the 22, but it was 

 not common at any time. I have never seen this species south 

 of Massachusetts in spring. Winters in eastern Mexico, Cen- 

 tral xAmerica, and northern South America (Columbia and 

 Venzuela). Accidental in Cuba. 



Genus. ORANGE WARBLERS. Protonotaria. 



Size, large, 5.30, colors, bright, greenish above, orange on head 

 and beneath. No wing bands, tail spots present. Bill, nearly as 

 long as head, slightly curved and sharp. Wings, rather long, reach- 

 ing when folded to the middle of the tail. Feet, weak. 



The only species of this genus is remarkable on account 

 of its bright orange color, with no conspicuous black mark- 

 ings. The under tail coverts are long, reaching within .50 of 

 the tip of the tail. Southern in distribution, thus accidental 

 as far north as New England.
