PASSERES—M NIOTILTIDA. aly ard 
245. (648b.) COMPSOTHLYPIS AMERICANA RAMALINZ. 
Ridgway. 37 (part). 
Western Parula Warbler. 
The synonyms and reference should stand as in the pre- 
ceding form. In “Birds of North and Middle America,” 
Vol. II, 486, Prof. Ridgway gives the following reference: 
ead, Proc. Ac’. Nat. Scis Phila vi 18a. (ns Ohio). 
Mr. H. C. Oberholser also informs me that this is likely 
the breeding form for Ohio. A specimen in the Ohio State 
University collection, and one in the Oberlin College col- 
lection, both taken rather late for the migratory movement, 
are decidedly small. In the absence of contradictory evi- 
dence it seems necessary to regard this form as the Ohio 
breeding Parula Warbler. It is little known in the breed- 
ing season, having been noted only by Dr. Langdon and Mr. 
Dury near Cincinnati. It would appear to be a little later 
than the preceding form in its migrations. 
246. (650.) DENDROICA TIGRINA (Gmel.). 38. 
Cape May Warbler. 
Synonyms: Dendreeca tigrina, Perissoglossa tigrina, Sylvia 
maritima, Sylvicola maritima, Motacilli tigrina. 
Kirtland, Ohio Geol. Surv., 1838, 163, 181. 
The Lorain county records for this warbler number less 
than a dozen, all in the first week of May. There are no 
reports of any greater number anywhere in the state in the 
spring migrations, but Rev. Mr. Henninger notes it as com- 
mon during the autumn migrations in Scioto county, “es- 
pecially in upland beech woods.” It is strictly a migrant 
in the state, stopping but a short time in spring, but passing 
south more leisurely. 
It reaches southern Ohio late in April, and northern Ohio 
a week later; returning about the middle of September, and 
9 
may be found in Scioto county as late as October 3.
