ANNOTATED LIST OF THE BIRDS 319 



Latham); October 12, 1892 (A. H. Howell); autumn of 1893 (A. 

 H. Helme); previously unrecorded is a specimen taken October 8, 

 1908 on Shelter Island (W. W. Worthington). 



ORIENT. Mr. Latham reports it on May 7, 1906, and from 

 September 4 to 10, 1914. The date of the fall records is a month 

 earlier than any record for New England, and there is a pos- 

 sibility of error. 



LONG BEACH. One seen October 13, 1919 (Bicknell). 

 New York State. One record at Ossining (Fisher); a single 

 individual was discovered in the dense ornamental conifer groves of 

 the Moravian Cemetery on Staten Island, January 8, 1917 (W. H. 

 Wiegmann) and remained at least until January 20 (Hix) ; another 

 found in the same place December 26, 1920 (Lester Walsh), seen 

 so well and described so accurately, that there can be no reasonable 

 doubt of its identity. 



BRONX REGION. Recorded at Riverdale, October 9 and 29, 

 1876 (Bicknell). 



New Jersey. Specimen taken May, 1865 at Hoboken (C. S. 

 Galbraith); reported from Morristown by Thurber, but no speci- 

 men in his collection; in the Dwight Collection I find two speci- 

 mens taken at West Orange by Stephen Van Rensselaer, October 2, 

 1894 and April 14, 1898. 



ENGLEWOOD REGION. A singing male found near West 

 Englewood, May 18, 1913 (Griscom, Auk, 1913, p. 585). This 

 account is defective in that it does not mention the fact that 

 I was previously acquainted with this species in life. 



TENNESSEE WARBLER (Vermivora peregrina) 

 Formerty a very rare spring transient, sometimes not 

 uncommon in the fall. Since 1912 rapidly increasing, and 

 now a regular transient, generally uncommon in spring, 

 sometimes abundant in fall. With practice those who know 

 our little green Vermivoras can recognize this species readily. 

 In the first place it never has an eye-ring, but always has 

 a superciliary stripe, which is whitish or yellowish. The 

 underparts vary from pure white to pale lemon yellow, never 

 bright golden yellow or greenish. Finally, the undert ail- 

 coverts are always white. The song is a loud, strident chap- 

 pering, and is absolutely unmistakable.
