642 APPENDIX A. 



Supposed Occurrence in Ohio. "Reported from Sandusky by Professor E. L. Mose- 

 ley. No specimen was secured. This record, if authentic, would seem to be a case of 

 escaped cage-bird. It is likely that wanderers may sometimes reach the vicinity of Cin- 

 cinnati" (Jones).

LAWRENCE WARBLER. 



A. O. U. No. H. 20. Helminthophila lawrencei (Herrick). 



Description. Adult male : Similar to H. chrysoptera, but cheeks and median lower 

 parts pure yellow (gamboge) ; back, scapulars, and rump, bright olive-green ; the sides 

 tinged with olive, and the wing-bands (usually) white; the wing-bands narrower and more 

 widely separated than in H. chrysoptera. Adult female: Similar to H. chrysoptera, but dingy 

 olive-green on cheeks and throat (Ridg.). Probably a hybrid of H. chrysoptera and PI. 

 pinus; but see discussion on page 123. 



General Range. New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, etc. 



Probable Occurrence in Ohio. This hybrid (?) form is less common than H. leuco- 

 bronchialis, but it should occur wherever that form and its antecedents ( ?),H. pinus and 

 H. chrysoptera are found. 



No. 4. 



BREWSTER WARBLER. 



A. O. U. No. H. 21. Helminthophila leucobronchialis (Brewst.). 

 See description and comment on page 123. 



No. 5. 



CINCINNATI WARBLER. 



A. O. U. No. H. 22. Helminthophila cincinnatiensis (Langd.). 



Description. Adult male : Much like H. pinus in color, but without wing-bars or white 

 blotches on tail ; lores and portions of ear-coverts black (which, together with concealed 

 black on crown, resembles an incomplete mask of Oporornis formosa} ; bill with rictal 

 bristles. Length 4.75 (120.6) ; wing 2.50 (63.5) ; tail 1.85 (47.) ; bill .44 (11.2). 



This bird is known only from one specimen described from Cincinnati by Dr. Langdpn.l 

 and is believed to be a hybrid between the Blue-winged and Kentucky Warblers (H. pinus 

 and O. formosa}. As such it is, of course, properly relegated to the hypothetical list of 

 the A. O. U. committee. 



No. 6. 



PARULA WARBLER. 



A. O. U. No. 648. Compsothlypis americana (Linn.). 



Description. Similar to C. a. usneae (q. v. page 131), but slightly smaller; coloration 

 not so rich, blue of upper parts lighter, black of lores less intense, pattern of under parts 

 less clearly defined, etc. 



General Range. Southern portions of Atlantic and eastern Gulf Coast districts of 

 United States, breeding from Florida northward to Virginia, and irregularly to New Jersey, 

 Massachusetts, etc.; also occasionally in more southern portions of the interior (Ridgway). 



Probable Range in Ohio. Certain specimens in the O. S. U. collection seem to be 

 referable to this type, and it is antecedently probable that the species will be found at least 

 occasionally in the southern and southeastern portions of the state. 



No. 7. 



GRINNELL WATER-THRUSH. 



A. O. U. No. 67^ a. Seiurus noveboracensis notabilis (Ridg.). 



Description. Adult : Similar to Seiurus noveboraccnsis, but larger, darker olive-brown, 

 approaching sooty on back: superciliary stripe not so distinctly fulvous; under parts less 

 often or less distinctly yellowish. Length <^o-6.<;o (139.7-165.1) ; wing 3.14 (79.8) ; tail 2.35 

 (59.7) ; bill .51' (13.) ; tarsus .87 (22.1) (Ridgway).
