(Anne A. Crolius); last pair nested in 1914; since then only 

 recorded twice, May 16, 1918 (Janvrin) and May 10, 1921 

 (Griscom). 



BRONX REGION. Formerly a summer resident, last breed- 

 ing in 1918; May 6, 1919 (L. N. Nichols) to August 20, 1910 

 (Hix). 



New Jersey. A common summer resident in all the rural 

 sections. In Warren and Sussex Counties every village or small 

 town I have visited has one or more pairs. Now almost gone in the 

 suburbs near New York City. I have no good fall dates. 



ENGLEWOOD REGION. One pair nests near the Golf Club 

 at Nordhoff, never recorded elsewhere in the region; May 7, 

 1922 (F. M. Chapman). 



YELLOW-THROATED VIREO (Lanivireo flavifrons) 

 Our handsomest Vireo was formerly a common summer 

 resident throughout the area from early May to the middle of 

 September. While many of us had noted a slow but steady 

 decrease in numbers in the last twenty years, no one was 

 prepared for the sudden and rapid disappearance of this 

 species since 1917 over the whole suburban section, where it is 

 now a rare bird. 



Long Island. Formerly a common summer resident, now 

 rapidly decreasing; April 23 to September 23. 



ORIENT. Rare summer resident in Peconic and Southold 

 (Mrs. Frank D. Smith); usually only a rare transient; April 

 30, 1910 (Rufus W. Tuthill) to May 20, 1910; August 26, 

 1913 to September 14, 1913. 



MASTIC. Uncommon transient, steadily decreasing. 

 New York State. Formerly a common summer resident, now 

 fast becoming rare. 



CENTRAL PARK. Formerly a regular summer resident and 

 common transient, May 1, 1900 (Chubb) to September 28, 

 1910 (Hix); last bred in 1914; since 1917 rapidly decreasing, 

 and now a rare bird, not recorded at all in the fall, and in 

 spring three times in 1919, twice in 1920, once in 1921, and not 

 at all in 1922. 



BRONX REGION. Formerly a common summer resident,
