62 Allen, Summer Birds of Southern Vermont. [jaii 



56. Helminthophila rubricapilla. Nashville Warbler. — I noted but 

 a single individual at L. in 1886, but found the bird abundant there in 1895. 

 Common at W. B. Perhaps this and the preceding species were commoner 

 at L. in 1886 than indicated, and had merely suspended singing. 



57. Compsothlypis americana usneae. Northern Parula Warbler. — 

 Rather common. 



58. Dendroica caerulescens. Black-throated Blue Warbler. — 

 Rather common at L. Common at W. B. 



59. Dendroica coronata. Myrtle Warbler. — A few observed on 

 the higher levels at L. Pretty common at W. B. A bird of the spruce 

 growth. 



60. Dendroica maculosa. Magnolia Warbler. — Abundant at L. 

 and the commonest warbler there. Common at W. B. Haunts the 

 sparse spruces and firs of overgrown pastures. 



61. Dendroica pensylvanica. Chestnut-sided Warbler. — Common 

 at L. Abundant at W. B. 



62. Dendroica striata. Black-poll Warbler. — One heard singing on 

 summit of Stratton Mountain, June 29, 1895, at an altitude of about 3800 

 feet (Auk, XIII, 1896, 345). Abundant on and near summits of Killington 

 and Pico Peaks and found down to about 3200 feet. 



63. Dendroica blackburnise. Blackburnian Warbler. — Common. 



64. Dendroica virens. Black-throated Green Warbler. — Rather 

 common. 



65. Seiurus aurocapillus. Oven-bird. — Common at L. Rather com- 

 mon at W. B. 



66. Geothlypis Philadelphia. IMourning AVarbler. — One heard sing- 

 ing June 28 and 30, 1895, at L. Four singing males found at W. B. One 

 of the latter uttered a number of times in my hearing a call or alarm note 

 which may be worth recording here as it is not described in Mr. Chapman's 

 'Warblers of North America.' It was a sharp, rough chip, difficult of 

 description but quite distinct from any other bird-note with which I am 

 familiar. 



67. Geothlypis trichas brachidactyla. Northern Yellow-throat. — 

 Common. 



68. Wilsonia canadensis. Canadian Warbler. — Not common at 

 L.; two observed there in 1895. Abundant at W. B. I think I have 

 never elsewhere found this species so abundant as in the neighborhood of 

 West Bridgewater. 



69. Setophaga ruticilla. American Redstart. Rather common at 

 L. Common at W. B. 



70. Galeoscoptes carolinensis. Catbird. — Not common at L. Rather 

 common at W. B. 



71. Toxostoma rufum. Brown Thrasher. — Three or four observed 

 at L. in 1895. None at W. B. 



72. Troglodytes aedon. House Wren. — Not common. I found 

 none at L. in 1895 and none at W. B.
