THE BIRDS OF MONTREAL. 



Genus Geothlypis. Cabanis. 



223. Mourning Warbler. G. Philadelphia. ("Wils.) 

 "Transient Visitant," scarce. Probably breeds 



here. I shot a male specimen May 24, 1886, at 

 Outremont, and one was shot in the same place, 

 about the same date in 1885. Another male speci- 

 men was shot May 31, 1888, in the woods at Hoche- 

 laga by Mr. A. C. McKeand. 



Subgenus " Geothlypis." 



224. Maryland Yellow-throat. G. trichas. (Linn.) 

 " Summer Resident," common. Breeds in Mount 



Royal Park. I came across a pair of these birds in 

 the park June 25, 1887, and from their apparent 

 anxiety while I was observing them, they evidently 

 had a nest somewhere near the swampy place I 

 was standing in, but as the nest of this bird is a 

 difficult one to discover, I did not find it. Observed 

 here from May 24 to September 13. 



Genus Sylvania. Nuttall. 



225. Wilson's Warbler. (Black-capped Yellow 



Warbler.) S. pusilla. (Wils.) 

 " Transient Visitant," scarce. Observed here in 

 the spring only, May 24, but Mr. Kuetzing says he 

 shot a good specimen of this warbler, July 13, on 

 the Island of Montreal, so that a few may breed 

 here.
