1920 J General Notes. 593 



relative is found along the rocky mountain brooks. On the other hand 

 the Hooded and Canada Warblers are commonly observed together, 

 though the latter is largely restricted to the thickets of rhododendron 

 which is not the case with its congener. 



The Canada Warbler is now known as a summer resident in three 

 widely separated localities in northern New Jersey — Budd's Lake, Morris 

 County (cf. Auk, April, 1917, p. 214), Bear Swamp, Sussex County (cf. 

 Auk, Jan., 1920, p. 137) and the region here described in the northwestern 

 part of Passaic County. 



Two errors in the note published in 'The Auk' for January, 1920, may here 

 be corrected. Bear Swamp was stated to be near "Crusoe Lake"; — this 

 should read "Lake Owassa formerly known as Long Lake." In the last 

 line of the first paragraph, for "p. 24", read "p. 214." — W. DeW. Miller, 

 American Museum of Natural History, New York City. 



A Peculiarly Marked Example of Dumetella carolinensis. — In 



speaking of the female Catbird, Mr. Ridgway says (Birds of North and 

 Middle America, Vol. IV, p. 218): "chestnut of under tail-coverts more 

 restricted and broken through greater extension of the basal and central 

 slate-gray." An extreme case of the restriction of the chestnut of these 

 feathers is presented by a specimen recently captured by the writer at 

 Washington, D. C. 



At first glance, the bird presented an almost unbroken gray appear- 

 ance relieved only by the black cap. This grayness was particularly 

 noticeable on the lower tail-coverts, and it was only upon closer scrutiny 

 that the fact was revealed that these feathers were not of solid color. 

 Basally, there was no trace of chestnut, which was present only in the 

 form of a very narrow edging (in no place as much as a sixteenth of an 

 inch in width) beginning about midway of the feathers and continuing 

 around the tips. 



An examination of the specimens of this bird in the National Museum 

 and Biological Survey collections reveals the fact, as noted by Mr. Ridg- 

 way, that while "restricted and broken" there is generally at least a ter- 

 minal one-third or one-fourth of the characteristic chestnut color. In 

 the extensive series examined, no specimen was found that even approached 

 the one in question. The bird was otherwise normal. — Frederick C. 

 Lincoln, Biological Survey, Washington, D. C. 



The Hudsonian Chickadee in New Jersey.— The writer has re- 

 cently examined a small collection of skins of local birds made by the 

 late Charles R. Sleight of Ramsey, New Jersey. The only specimen of 

 unusual interest in the collection is a Hudsoaian Chickadee (Penthestes 

 hudsonicus hudsonicus) taken at Ramsey, on November 1, 1913, and now 

 in the collection of the American Museum of Natural History. 



Dr. Charles W. Townsend has examined this specimen and agrees with 

 me that it is true hudsonicus. In general coloration it agrees closely with
