ning of April [April 4, 1890; April 9, 1895], but stays late 



into October [October 11, 1890]. 



261 Vireo solitarius Wils. lilm'-hcailwl Vireo. 



A fairly common winter resident; arriving from beyond 

 our southern border at the end of March | March 26, 1894; 

 March 28, 1895] departing in September and the early days 

 of October. 



262. Vireo noveboracensis Ginel. White-eyed Vireo. 

 Probably the most abundant of all our Vireos; princi- 

 pally a summer resident, but many pass their winters within 

 our borders. 



Family MNIOTILTID^E. 



263. Mniotilta variaLinn. Black-and-white Creeper. 



An abundant migrant throughout the state, but in St, 

 Tammany and Tangipahoa parishes 1 have found young birds, 

 in fairly large numbers and scarcely able to fly, in the early 

 days of July. I have no doubt but that they were hatched 

 in the gum-swamps of the vicinity. 



264. Protonotaria citrea Bodd. Prothonolary Warbler. 



An abundant summer resident throughout the entire 

 state ; arriving within our southern border in March [earliest 

 date for New Orleans station March 15, 1894], leaving toward 

 the end of September. 



265. Helinaia swainsonii And. Swainson's Warbler. 



A summer resident in various parts of the state. It was 

 obtained by Olias. Galbraith [a collector of bird-skins for 

 millinery purposes] near Lewisburg, St. Tammany parish, in 

 March and April, 1880 and 1887. I shot a male on June 4, 

 1888, near Amite, on the Tangipahoa river, and Messrs Kop- 

 man, Allison and Blakemore have found it rather common on 

 the right bank of the Mississippi, opposite New Orleans. It 

 has also been recorded from Bayou Sara. 



266. Helmitherus vermivorus Gmel. Wonu-eatiny Warbler. 



A not very common summer resident. It arrives in the 

 beginning of April, and leaves in September. 



267. Helminthophila bachmani And. J-taclinnni''* \Varhler. 



Mr. Charles Galbmith's records, published in the Auk 

 [Vols. IV and V], are, thus tar, the only notes on this species. 

 It is undoubtedly not only rare generally, but only a migrant 

 as well.
