140 BIRDS OF MAINE. 



Menau, and accordingly the species is not entitled to a place in the 

 state. In a letter received from Mr. Boardman he gives this as a 

 Grand Menan bird only, two specimens having been taken there. 



Family VIREONID^E. Vireos. 

 Genus VIREO Vieillot. 



22. (631). Vireo noveboraceusis ( (rme/. ) . White-eyed Vireo. 

 The AVhite-e3'ed Vireo was given in Smith's List, but its claim to 



a place in our list is not based upon satisfactory evidence. Being 

 essentially a bird of the Carolina fauna its occurrence is very 

 doubtful. 



Family MNIOTILTID^. AVood Warblers. 

 Genus HELMITHERUS Rafinesque. 



23. (639). Helmitherus vermivorus (Gmel.). Worm-eating 

 Warbler. 



The sole claim of this species to a place in the list is based upon 

 a specimen from Maine recorded by A. E. Verrill. (Cf. Verrill, 

 Proc. Essex Inst., Vol. 3, p. 156). As I have not seen this pub- 

 lication, I am unable to state the grounds upon which he has 

 recorded the bird's presence in the state, but regard its occurrence 

 as very doubtful. 



Genus HELMINTHOPHILA Ridgway. 



24. (646). Helminthophila celata (Say). Orange-crowned 

 Warbler, 



Ascribed to Maine by Audubon, but as he mentions the species 

 as breeding in eastern Maine it seems probable that his record is 

 the result of a misapprehension. There, is certainly no modern 

 record of its occurrence in the state. 



Family TROGLODYTID^E. Wrens, Thrushes, etc. 

 Genus CISTOTHORUS Cabauis. 



25. (724). Cistothorus stellaris (Licht.). Shoit-billed Marsh 



Wren. 



This species is credited to Penobscot County in Smith's List. 

 (Cf. Smith, Forest and Stream, Vol. 19. p. 445). He here states 

 that the nests and eggs have been taken in Penobscot County. I
