642 APPENDIX A. 
Supposed Occurrence in Ohio.—‘Reported from Sandusky by Professor E. L. Mose- 
ley. No specimen was secured. ‘This record, if authentic, would seem to be a case of 
escaped cage-bird. It is likely that wanderers may sometimes reach the vicinity of Cin- 
cinnati’ (Jones).

LAWRENCE WARBLER. 
A. O. U. No. H. 20. Helminthophila lawrencei (Herrick). 
Description.—Adult male: Similar to H. chrysoptera, but cheeks and median lower 
parts pure yellow (gamboge); back, scapulars, and rump, bright olive-green; the sides 
tinged with olive, and the wing-bands (usually) white; the wing-bands narrower and more 
widely separated than in H. chrysoptera. Adult female: Similar to H. chrysoptera, but dingy 
olive-green on cheeks and throat (Ridg.). Probably a hybrid of H. chrysoptera and H. 
pinus; but see discussion on page 123. 
General Range.—New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, etc. 
Probable Occurrence in Ohio.—This hybrid (?) form is less common than H. leuco- 
bronchialis, but it should occur wherever that form and its antecedents (?),H. pinus and 
H. chrysoptera are found. 
No. 4. 
BREWSTER WARBLER. 
A. O. U. No. H. 21. Helminthophila leucobronchialis (Brewst.). 
See description and comment on page 123. 
No. 5. 
CINCINNATI WARBLER. 
A. O. U. No. H. 22. Helminthophila cincinnatiensis (Langd.). 
Description.—Adult male: Much like H. pinus in color, but without wing-bars or white 
blotches on tail; lores and portions of ear-coverts black (which, together with concealed 
black on crown, resembles an incomplete mask of Oporornis formosa) ; bill with rictal 
bristles. Length 4.75 (120.6); wing 2.50 (63.5) ; tail 1.85 (47.); bill .44 (11.2). 
This bird is known only from one specimen described from Cincinnati by Dr. Langdon,1 
and is believed to be a hybrid between the Blue-winged and Kentucky Warblers (H. pinus 
and O. formosa). As such it is. of course, properly relegated to the hypothetical list of 
the A. O. U. committee. 
No. 6. 
PARULA WARBLER. 
A. O. U. No. 648. Compsothlypis americana (Linn.). 
Description.—Similar to C. a. usneae (q. v. page 131), but slightly smaller; coloration 
not so rich—blue of upper parts lighter, black of lores less intense, pattern of under parts 
less clearly defined, etc. 
General Range.—Southern portions of Atlantic and eastern Gulf Coast districts of 
United States, breeding from Florida northward to Virginia. and irregularly to New Jersey, 
Massachusetts, etc.: also occasionally in more southern portions of the interior (Ridgway). 
Probable Range in Ohio.—Certain specimens in the O. S. U. collection seem to he 
referable to this tvne. and it is antecedently probable that the snecies will be found at least 
eceasionally in the southern and southeastern portions of the state. 
No: 7. 
GRINNELL WATER-THRUSH. 
A. O. U. No. 675 a. Seiurus noveboracensis notabilis (Ridg.). 
Description.—Adult: Similar to Seiwrus noveboracensts, but larger, darker olive-brown, 
anproaching sooty on back; superciliary stripe not so distinctly fulvous ; under parts less 
often or less distinctly yellowish. Length 5.50-6.50 (139.7-165.1) ; wing 3.14 (79.8) ; tail 2.35 
(50.7) ; bill .5r (13.); tarsus .87 (22.1) (Ridgway). :
