442 Bangs and Noble, Birds of Peru. [oct,. 



(see Auk, VII, 1890, 128, and VIII, 1891, 331). As far as I am aware, 

 after searching the literature on the breeding range, there is no breeding 

 maritime record south of Long Island, New York, which is nearly 600 

 miles northeast of the region where the birds breed on the South Carolina 

 coast. This is indeed truly remarkable. 



Oporornis agilis. Connecticut Warbler. — Misses Louise Petigru 

 Ford and Marion J. Pellew saw at Aiken on May 12, 1915, an adult male 

 on the ground among highland ferns. These ladies watched this bird for 

 a long time through powerful opera glasses and no mistake whatever was 

 made by them, as they are familiar with the resident as well as migratory 

 birds found about Aiken. The Connecticut Warbler is very rare in the 

 spring east of the Alleghenies. Mr. Loomis took one at Chester on May 

 10, 1889, but I have yet to take one in South Carolina. 



LIST OF BIRDS COLLECTED ON THE HARVARD 

 PERUVIAN EXPEDITION OF 1916. 



BY OUTRAM BANGS AND G. K. NOBLE. 



The birds listed in the following notes were collected by one of 

 us — Noble who accompanied as naturalist the Harvard Peruvian 

 Expedition of 1916. 



This was a short summer vacation trip, financed by friends of the 

 Museum of Comparative Zoology, into the northwestern corner of 

 Peru. Roughly speaking the expedition covered a triangular 

 course from Payta to Tabaconas and thence out to the coast again 

 at Chiclayo. The regions traveled were mostly desert or semi- 

 desert ones ; at a few places only was real sub-tropical forest met 

 with. 



A careful itinerary by Noble will be published later with his 

 account of the Reptiles and Batrachians, upon which he was 

 working when he answered the call to the service of his country 

 in war. 



For the loan of, often very necessary, specimens we are much 

 indebted to Dr. Chas. W. Richmond of the United States National 

 Museum, Dr. Frank M. Chapman of the American Museum of
