140 BIRDS OF MAINE. 



Menan, and accordingly the species is not entitled to a place in the 

 state. In a letter received from Mr. Boardman he gives this as a 

 Grand Menan bird only, two specimens having been taken there. 



Family VIREONID7E. Vireos. 

 Genus VIREO Vieillot. 



22. (631). Vireo noveboracensis (GmeL). White-eyed Vireo. 

 The White-eyed Vireo was given in Smith's List, but its claim to 



a place in our list is not based upon satisfactory evidence. Being 

 essentially a bird of the Carolina fauna its occurrence is very 

 doubtful. 



Family MNIOTILTIDJE. Wood Warblers. 

 Genus HELMITHERUS Rafinesque. 



23. (639). Helmitherus vermivorus (GmeL). Worm-eating 

 Warbler. 



The sole claim of this species to a place in the list is based upon 

 a specimen from Maine recorded by A. E. Verrill. (Cf. Verrill, 

 Proc. Essex Inst., Vol. 3, p. 156). Asl have not seen this pub- 

 lication, I am unable to state the grounds upon which he has 

 recorded the bird's presence in the state, but regard its occurrence 

 as very doubtful. 



Genus HELMINTHOPHILA Ridgway. 



24. (646). Helmiuthophila celata (Say). Orange-crowned 

 Warbler. 



Ascribed to Maine by Audubon, but as he mentions the species 

 as breeding in eastern Maine it seems probable that his record is 

 the result of a misapprehension. There is certainly no modern 

 record of its occurrence in the state. 



Family TROGLODYTID^E. Wrens, Thrushes, etc. 

 Genus CISTOTHORUS Cabanis. 



25. (724). Cistothorus stellaris (Licht. ) . Short-billed Marsh 

 Wren. 



This species is credited to Penobscot County in Smith's List. 

 (Cf. Smith, Forest and Stream, Vol. 19. p. 445). He here states 

 that the nests and eggs have been taken in Penobscot County. I
