V01 i906 m ] General Notes. 345 



Otocoris alpestris hoyti. Four adult males, — Guilford, March 7, 1903; 

 and West Haven, January 24, 1905. 



Agelaius phceniceus fortis. North Haven, male adult, Dec. 25, 1901; 

 male juvenile and female juvenile, Jan. 10, 1902; male juvenile, Nov. 11, 

 1903. 



Helminthophila lawrencei. On May 31, 1905, while collecting with Mr. 

 H. W. Beers and Mr. J. C. A. Meeker, I secured in East Haven, Conn., a 

 male H. lawrencei having the full black chin. As it was undoubtedly a 

 breeding bird we searched the vicinity carefully for the female and nest 

 but without result, and absence from town prevented my looking for the 

 young later that summer. 



Believing some of the young might return to that neighborhood this year 

 I revisited it on May 24, and collected another male within 300 yards of 

 where the other was taken. This bird has the feathers of the chin yellow; 

 the extreme upper throat black at base tipped with yellow; and the lower 

 throat black, each barb of each feather being narrowly edged with yellow, 

 these giving a brownish effect. In other respects it resembles the bird 

 taken last year, except that the wing-bars are more yellow, and shows the 

 plumage that might be expected if, as I believe, it was the young of that 

 bird with a female H. pinus. Fourteen others of this genus examined 

 within half a mile of this spot the same morning were all Blue-winged 

 Warblers. 



Dendroica palmarum. New Haven, male juvenile, Sept. 24 and Oct. 

 1, 1895; female juvenile, Sept. 19, 1903; Sept. 26 (2) and Oct. 5, 1905. 



Seiurus noveboracensis notabilis. Hamden, Sept. 7, 1904, female ju- 

 venile; East Haven, Sept. 21, 1904, male juvenile; Orange, May 20, 1905, 

 male adult. 



Geothlypis trichas brachidactyla. A young male with the bill twisted 

 into much the shape of that of a crossbill — the maxilla bending over the 

 mandible to the right with a notch in the side worn by the latter — was 

 collected in East Haven on Oct. 4, 1905. It was fat and otherwise in 

 good condition, and was feeding in the top of a small tree about twelve 

 feet from the ground like the tree-warblers. 



Sitta carolinensis. Two young females with the crown black and 

 almost as lustrous as in the male were taken in East Haven on Nov. 17, 

 1900, and Dec. 19, 1905. 



Regulus calendula. A young male with the crown patch unusually 

 small and orange-buff instead of scarlet-vermillion was collected in New 

 Haven on Oct. 28, 1904. The entire plumage of this bird is unusually 

 gray and the broken eye-ring, lores and forehead are distinctly white; 

 but as it has the nasal tuft, slender, longer bill, and the measurements of 

 calendula I do not think it is a hybrid with satrapa. 



Hylocichla fuscescens salicicola. Four adult males, — New Haven, 

 Sept. 23, 1895; Woodbridge, May 5, 1894; and East Haven, May 16, 

 1900, and May 14, 1904. — Louis B. Bishop, New Haven, Conn.
