CCLI. HELMINTHOPHILA Riveway. 1882. 
642. Golden-winged Warbler. 
Helminthophila chrysoptera (LINN.) RipGw. 1882. 
Seen on the Magdalen islands on June 17 and 30, 1897, evidently 
breeding; also noted there by Mr. W. E. Beaupré in the early sum- 
mer of 1904. (Rev. C. J. Young.) In June 1903 an individual of 
this species was observed in the vicinity of Fredericton, N.B. (W. 
H. Moore.) Fairly common summer resident throughout western 
Ontario; not noted in Bruce county. (W. E. Saunders.) I have 
met with this species on two occasions near Hamilton, Ont.; have 
also heard of its being noticed at Port Rowan. Dr. Macallum sees 
it every spring and summer near his residence at Dunnville, Ont. 
(McIlwraith.) By the kindness of Mr. W. Hine, of Winnipeg, 
Man., I am enabled to record the capture of a golden-winged warbler 
taken by him near Winnipeg on or about May 27th, 1887. (C. F. 
Batchelder in The Auk, Vol. VII, p. 404.) One male noted at Aweme, 
Man., May 22, 1906. (Criddle.) A female taken at Portage la 
Prairie, May 26, 1905, is the only specimen I have ever seen in the 
west. (Atkinson.) 
BREEDING Notes.—This species makes its nest largely of leaves 
and places it on the ground generally among or beside the stems of 
a shrub. The nest is bulky for the bird and the four or five eggs 
are small for its size. Quite common in some of the more western 
counties near Lake Erie. (W. E. Saunders.) 
645. Nashville Warbler. 
Helminthophila rubricapilla rubricapilla (Wits.) Ripew.

again at the Fiskenes, August 31st, 1840. (Arct. Man.) A sum- 
mer migrant in Newfoundland, but apparently rare. (Reeks.) A 
not very common summer resident at Halifax, N.S. (Downs.) 
Common summer resident in Nova Scotia. (H. F. Tujts.) A few 
specimens seen at Baddeck, Cape Breton island, July, 1898. (\Zacoun.) 
Rather abundant at Tignish, Prince Edward island, and not met with 
elsewhere (Dwight.) A common summer resident at St. John,
