fauna, as it was considered a characteristic bird of the Alleghanian and 

 Canadian faunas, particularly of the former zone. 



The first nest, I believe, to be recorded from the Carolinian fauna was 

 discovered by Mr. J. Harris Reed at Beverly, Burlington County, N. J., 

 (see Auk, 1897, p. 323), and the second was found by G. H. Moore at 

 Haddonfield, Camden County, N. J. This nest and eggs was acquired by 

 the Delaware Valley Ornithological Club of this city for its matchless 

 collection, and its discovery was reported at the February 2, 1899, meeting 

 of the Club. 



Reed has also found the Rose-breasted Grosbeak nesting in Upper 

 Makefield township in Bucks County, Pa., and I have found it to be a 

 summer resident in Bensalem township in the same county, in the vicinity 

 of Corn well's Station, where, also the Scarlet Tanager breeds. And further 

 investigation would no doubt reveal the bird as a breeder at other localities 

 in the Carolinian fauna, as it appears to be becoming a regular resident in 

 various parts of this zone. 



On May 28, 1907, 1 found a nest of the Rose-breasted Grosbeak at Torres- 

 dale, Philadelphia County, Pa., which is the only record of a nest for this 

 county, and the most southern record for Pennsylvania which I have been 

 able to find. 



Until I found my nest Reed held the next record for southern nesting of 

 the Rose-breast, but his record must now be accorded third place, as the 

 nest I found is several miles further south. 



The nest I found was collected with two fresh eggs. It was situated 6 

 feet up in a many-forked elder bush, in a thicket of elder, alder and spice 

 bushes along the Poquessing Creek, bordering a wood of deciduous trees. 



If there are any other records of the nesting of the Rose-breasted Gros- 

 beak in the Carolinian fauna I should be glad to hear of them. — Richard 

 F. Miller, Philadelphia, Pa. 



An Intergrade between Helminthophila pinus and H. leucobronchialis 

 captured in Hyde Park, Mass. — This bird, a male, was discovered by me 

 on the morning of June 13, 1907, on a hillside covered by a dense growth 

 of low oaks and birches, in the town of Hyde Park, Mass. I was drawn 

 to the bird by his song, which was identical with that of the Golden-winged 

 Warbler, being sometimes composed of three notes, zee, zee, zee, sometimes 

 of four, and once only of two. I thought likely that it might be breeding 

 here, but I could find no trace of the nest, so I decided to return in the 

 afternoon and shoot the bird if it could be found, in order that a proper 

 examination and record of it might be made. 



I returned about three o'clock and shot it near the place where I had seen 

 it in the morning. The description and measurements of this specimen are 

 as follows: 



Crown yellow, with a few dark feathers. Back and wings greenish yel- 

 low, some of the wing feathers being bluish gray edged with greenish. 

 Tail bluish gray above, the three outer pairs of feathers partly white.
