eastern Massachusetts, June 9 (Maynard). and we have the same 

 authority for its departure from I'pton, Elaine, June 5 ; Central Ver- 

 mont, "only a few days in the first of June" (N, A. Birds), while 

 Audubon gives it as arriving^ in Labrador, June 1 to 10. As to the 

 data of its breedincr we have the records of nests with etrofs at Fort 

 Yukon, June i and 9, and at Great Slave Lake the same month. In 

 a paper read before the Linna^an Society of New York, an abstract 

 only of which has appeared in print/" Mr. R. F. Pearsall said of this 

 species that, on the island of Grand Menan, " We found them (June 12, 

 1878) with full complements of four, frequently five eggs, incubation 

 having just commenced," and also, that at the Rangeley Lakes, Maine, 

 a nest with five eggs was taken June 19, i879.t 



The facts above stated form a chain of evidence which strongly 

 supports the probability that the individuals of the Black-poll War- 

 bler found in southern New York after the middle of June were sum- 

 mer residents of the mountain summit they inhabited. 



Deiidroeea Bhickbiiriiij« (Gm.) Baird. Blackburnian Warbler. 



Though I did not myself meet with this species, Mr. Burroughs 

 writes me that it breeds in Delaware County, just beyond Pine Hill. 

 The same author, in a delightful account of the bird life of a Catskill 

 forest, in "Wake Robin," page 49, alludes to the capture of one of 

 these beautiful warblers. 



Mr. Pearsall observed an individual of this species in the Big 

 Indian Valley on May 30. 



Deudrceca vireiis (Gm.) Baird. Black-throated Green Warbler. 



Not uncommon; preferably inhabiting hemlock woods, and scattered 

 sparingly through the deciduous forests. 



Siiirus .luricapilliis (L.) Sw. Golden-crowned Thrush. 



Not uncommon in mountain woods ; often its song was heard far 

 in the forest. 



Siuriis motaeilla (X'ieill) Coues. Large-billed Water Thrush. 



Had we not been prepared by Dr. A. K. Fisher's recent announce- 

 ments ;|: of the presence of this species in its breeding season at 

 Lake George for other records of its occurrence north of its known

f Since the above was penned Mr. Brewster has described a nest and set of three eggs of the 

 Black-poll Warbler which was taken by Mr. M. A. Frazar at the Magdalen Islands, June 23, 1882. 

 The eggs were fresh.— See Bull. Nutt. 'Ornith. Club, VII, 4, 253-254, October, 1882.
