 New Jersey. This Warbler undoubtedly breeds commonly in 

 suitable swamps in the higher parts of Sussex and Passaic Counties 

 southeastward to Cranberry Lake; both W. DeW. Miller and the 

 writer have seen it in numerous localities during June and early 

 July, though no nests have been found. In the rest of our area it is 

 a common transient.

 casual November 16, 1907 (Griscom and C. C. Trowbridge); 

 the female collected June 12 may have been breeding. 



ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER (Vermivora celata) 

 This Warbler is in exactly the same class as the Philadel- 

 phia Vireo, practically casual in spring and very rare in the 

 fall, at which season it is often remarkably late, due to its 

 wintering much further north than the great majority of the 

 family. For the beginner it is a very difficult bird to identify 

 in life, but those who know the other Vermivoras well can 

 hope to recognize it. Equally small and even more restless 

 than its relatives, it can be told from the Nashville by the 

 greenish underparts with dusky streaks and the dusky green- 

 ish upperparts. The color of the underparts is quite different 

 from bright yellow, and there is little or no appreciable 

 difference in shade above and below in fall birds. In other 

 words the bird appears uniformly colored throughout. 



Long Island. Exceedingly rare transient; one old specimen 

 with no date; April 13, 1919 (A. H. Helme) and May 7, 1906 (Roy
