 spring only as a very rare sojourner (arriving in Cliestcr county May 20 

 to 25. — Barnard. In the autumn (September) the Tennessee Warbler 

 is a common visitant about apple orchards and forests, frequenting in 

 the latter, beech trees (Fagus /erruginea). The Messrs. Baird writing 

 of this bird in Cumberland county, say: "1840, not seen; 1841, one 

 seen ; 1842, very abundant in autumn ; 1843, not seen, migratory." 



252. *Comps.othly2ns americana (Linn,). 



Parula Warbler. 648. Mr. George B. Sennett informs me that this warbler 

 breeds in Crawford county. Mr. George W. Roberts, Allerton farm. 

 West Chester, Pa., shot, in the summer of 1886, several of these birds 

 (worn pluniage) in Centre county, and reported the species to be quite 

 plentiful in that locality. I have seen individuals of this species in 

 Chester and Berks counties, as late as June 27 ; have also observed a few 

 in Schuylkill and Dauphin counties the first week in July.

Cape May Warbler 650. Migrant May and September. Rather rare in 

 spring ; tolerably aljundant in the autumn.

 ber ; breeds in the mountainous districts.

Chestn tit-sided Warbler 659. Common migrant May and September: 

 " Breeds in Crawford and Erie counties." — Geo. B. Sennett. Have seen 

 a few of these birds in summer in Chester, Lancaster and Delaware 

 counties and am inclined to think that future investigations will show 

 that the species occurs in said districts as an occasional breeder.

 Crawford and Erie counties.
