256 Bulletin No. 7. 



(Spelman, Bull. Nutt. Orn. Club, VI, 1881, 246). Mr. Stearns 

 reports having seen the species at Easthampton (New England 

 Bird Life, I, 1881, in). Of quite frequent occurrence in 

 Southern Connecticut, where it has been found breeding (Woolsey, 

 Bull. Nutt. Orn. Club, V, 1880, 116 ; Sage, Auk, II, 1885, 305). 



[284.] Helminthophila pinus. BLUE-WINGED WARBLER. 

 Rare straggler from the south. The two Massachusetts records 

 are Dedham, about 1854 (Cabot, Proc. Bost. Soc. Nat. Hist., 

 VI, 386 specimen still extant in the Society's collection), and 

 West Roxbury, May 17, 1878 (JDeane, Bull. Nutt. Orn. Club, III, 

 1878, 188). Of frequent occurrence in Southern Connecticut, 

 where it is recorded as regularly breeding, probably in consider- 

 able numbers (see Merriam, Rev. Bds. Conn., 1877, 14 ; Stearns 

 and Coues, New England Bird Life, I, 1881, 112 ; Averill, Orn. 

 and O61., IX, 1884, in). 



*285. Helminthophila chrysoptera. GOLDEN-WINGED WAR- 

 BLER. Summer resident. Not generally common, but more or 

 less frequent at some localities. 



*286. Helminthophila ruficapilla. NASHVILLE WARBLER. 

 Common summer resident. 



[287.] Helminthophila celata. ORANGE-CROWNED WAR- 

 BLER. Rare or accidental. Only three instances of its capture 

 thus far on record : Springfield, May 15, 1883 (Allen, Proc. Essex 

 Inst., IV, 1864, 60) ; Lynn, Jan. i, 1875 (Brewer, Proc. Bost. Soc. 

 Nat. Hist, XVII, 439) ; Concord, Oct. 2, 1876 (Brewster, Bull. 

 Nutt. Orn. Club, I, 1876, 94). The only other New England 

 records are Hollis, N. H., May 16, 1876 (Fox, Forest and Stream, 

 VI, 354) ; Cranston, R. I., (Purdie, Bull. Nutt. Orn. Club, II, 

 1877, 21). The Isles of Shoals record (Murdoch, ibid., Ill, 1878, 

 96), proved erroneous (Brewster, ibid., VII, 1882, 53). 



288. Helminthophila peregrina. TENNESSEE WARBLER. 

 Rare spring and autumn migrant. 



*289. Compsothlypis americana. BLUE YELLOW-BACKED 

 WARBLER. Rather common summer resident. 



290. Dendroica tigrina. CAPE MAY WARBLER. Rather 

 rare spring and autumn migrant.
