V. PHILADELPHICUS : LOVE GREENLET. I99 



locality it is now considered as a summer resident." 

 Mr. W. H. Fox, Concord, Mass., records a specimen 

 taken in Hollis, N. H., May 26th, 1876, by Mr. A. 

 F. Eaton (Bull. Nutt. Club, ii, 1877, p. 78) ; "it was 

 feeding in company with two other birds of the same 

 kind, in some low oak bushes." Mr. Wm. Brewster 

 contributes an excellent article (Bull. Nutt. Club, v, 

 1880, p. i), in which he tells us that the species has 

 at la'=t been found " to be not very uncommon in suitable 

 localities " throughout the region surrounding Umba- 

 gog Lakes. " I traced them as far southward as 

 Newry, only five miles north of Bethel, and westward 

 to Dixville Notch, in New Hampshire. At the latter 

 point they were noted in greater numbers tlmn else- 

 where, and on June 10 several pairs were tbund in the 

 open birch groves about the ' Dix House,' just beyond 

 the Notch." Mr. Brewster adds that this Greenlet 

 comes with the last flight of Warblers, and is most 

 likely to be found singly at this season. After the 

 breeding season has fairly begun he is quite as inde- 

 fatigable a singer as his Red-eyed cousin, and there 

 is much resemblance between the notes of the two 

 species. He sings throughout the day in all weathers ; 

 his notes are generally pitched a little higher in the 

 scale, while many of the utterances are feebler, and 

 the whole strain is a trifle more disconnected. Mr. 

 C. W. Townsend records the second Massachusetts 

 specimen from Magnolia, September 18, 1879 (Bull. 

 Nutt. Club, V, 1880, p. 53). The nest and eggs are 

 unknown to me, but it may be presumed, to I'udge from 

 the analogy of this genus, that they are not distinguish- 

 able from those of several other species.
