extends the range of this species eastward a few miles more on the north 

 shore of Lake Ontario. 1 Specimens were taken, which proved the iden- 

 tity of the species. As it is understood specimens were taken on the Rid- 

 eau River, during the summer of 1918, a general extension of range may 

 be occurring. — H. L. 



Vireosylva philadelphica. Philadelphia Vireo. — The latest spring 

 date is June 2, 1917, when a female was taken at Toronto. They were 

 common on the morning of May 22, 1918, when at least twelve were seen 

 in a section of the Don Valley and several were taken. — H. L. 



Vermivora rubricapilla rubricapilla. Nashville Warbler. — The 

 earliest spring date is April 29, 1905, when a male was taken at Toronto. 

 The latest fall date is September 28, 1918, when another was secured. 



Vermivora peregrina. Tennessee Warbler. — The latest spring 

 date recorded for Toronto is May 22. One was seen on May 31, 1917, 

 and a female taken on June 7, 1907. Early fall records are, an immature

Dendroica tigrina. Cape May Warbler. — A male seen on May 31, 

 1917, at Toronto, is the latest spring record. A moulting male, taken on 

 August 22, 1908, and one seen at Toronto Island, on August 23, 1915,

Dendroica cerulea. Cerulean Warbler. — On May 23, 1918, I 

 took a female Cerulean Warbler near Toronto. I was watching another 

 warbler, which I considered to be a Parula Warbler, when it pursued a 

 plainer bird across a stream. I followed and took the plainer one of the 

 two, which proved to be a Cerulean Warbler. I concluded at once that 

 the pursuing bird had been a male of the same species but did not see it 

 again. There are seven or eight previous Toronto records at least one of 

 which is a female taken in 1856. 1 — H. L. 



Dendroica castanea. Bay-breasted Warbler. — This is one of the 

 warblers that has increased as a migrant at Toronto, within the last 

 twenty years. The first record of the bird being in any numbers, is in 

 the diary of the late J. Hughes Samuel under date of May 19th, 1898, at 

 Toronto Island. "Bay-breasted Warblers were astonishingly numerous, 

 — so much so that I counted twelve feeding on the ground at one time and 

 in a space of a few feet." This warbler breeds in Nipissing District, as
