ANNOTATED LIST OF THE BIRDS 343 



throat and breast, a character no other Warbler possesses. 

 Adult males have a bluish-gray throat and breast, with no 

 black on the breast, as in the adult male Mourning. However, 

 it is very like the female Mourning, and they must be sep- 

 arated by the eye-ring and long under tail-coverts. 



Long Island. Irregular transient in autumn, sometimes 

 common; September 4 to October 11; rare on the south shore. 



ORIENT. Rare fall transient, September 14, 1913 to Sep- 

 tember 30, 1910. 



MASTIC. No record. 



New York State. Exceedingly rare in spring, irregularly 

 common in the fall. 



CENTRAL PARK. Casual transient, the only Warbler that 

 finds conditions in the Park utterly unsuitable; if one bears in 

 mind the intensive observation every spring by scores of 

 observers, the number of spring records is not as surprising as 

 might seem; the following records are unquestionably authen- 

 tic, made by people fully competent to identify the bird, 

 and entirely aware of the importance of their observation; 

 May 15, 1912 (Anne A. Crolius, Griscom, LaDow, Miller, 

 Wiegmann); May 15, 1921 (Charles Johnston); also Septem- 

 ber 9, 1908 (Hix), September 22, 1908 (Anne A. Crolius), twice 

 in September 1909 (Anne A. Crolius), September 22, 1922 

 (Crosby and Griscom), and October 5, 1922 (Griscom and 

 others). 



BRONX REGION. Irregular fall transient, often absent, 

 sometimes fairly common, as in 1882, 1889, 1890, 1896, and 

 1908; August 20, 1922 (F. E. Watson) to October 2, 1889 

 (Dwight). 



New Jersey. Exceedingly rare in spring, irregularly common in 

 fall. 



ENGLEWOOD REGION. An adult male collected May 25, 

 1917 at Fort Lee (Weber); in fall from August 27, 1896 

 (Dwight) to October 11, 1889 (Chapman). 



MOURNING WARBLER (Oporornis Philadelphia) 

 Next to the Orange-crowned this is undoubtedly the rarest 

 Warbler that visits this territory with any degree of regularity. 

 I cannot help thinking, however, that it is also frequently
