These two interesting birds, which were at first considered valid 

 species, are now generally conceded to be the results of crossing be- 

 tween the Blue-winged and Golden-winged Warblers, as the male of 

 H. pinus has actually been found paired witii the female of H. chry- 

 soptera,* and various birds have been secured which are interme- 

 diate between the typical Brewster's and Lawrence's Warblers and 

 the two species above mentioned.
