j 1 2 THE BIRDS OF MONT RE A L. 



grant. I saw one June 25, 1887, in Mount Royal 

 Park, and shot a fledgeling July 1, 1885, at Calu- 

 met, 5S miles west of Montreal. I also saw a pair 

 and fledgeling July 7, 1891, on the spur of Mount 

 Royal. Observed here from May 3 to August 22. 

 Mr. Griffin, superintendent of the museum of the 

 Natural History Society of Montreal, says a pair of 

 these warblers had a nest in a crevice over the side 

 door of the museum on Cathcart street about twelve 

 years ago, and that he caught the male bird on the 

 nest, and Avhich was identified by the late Mr. 

 Caulfield, taxidermist. 



Genus Helminthophila. Ridgway. 



205. Nashville Warbler. H. ruficapilla. (Wils.) 



" Transient Visitant," scarce. I have observed 

 only two examples of this warbler here, both of 

 them males, and which I shot on the spur of Mount 

 Royal, one May 10, 1889, and the other one May 

 10, 1890 ; but Mr. Kuetzing says he has found this 

 species common here, and that they breed in swampy 

 parts of woods on the Island of Montreal. 



206. Orange-crowned Warbler. H. celata. (Say.) 

 "Transient Visitant," rare. I shot a male speci- 

 men of this warbler May 21, 1890, on the spur of 

 Mount Royal, and it is the only one of the kind I 

 have met with here. The skin is in my collection.
