THE BIRDS OF NEW JERSEY. 271 



The Nashville is a rather inconspicuous Warbler, difficult to identify 

 in the tops of the } r oung trees, where it is usually found, along the edge 

 of old clearings. Its song, however, is peculiar, and is represented by 

 Mr. Langille as "ke-tsee, ke-tsee, ke-tsee; chip-ee-chip-ee-chip-ee- 

 chip," the latter half being much like the trill of the Chipping Spar- 

 row. 



Mr. Chapman took a breeding female at Englewood, June 16th, 

 188?, 1 which is our only evidence of its nesting in the State. 



646 Vermivora celata (Say), 

 Orange-crowned Warbler. 



Adults. Length, 4.75-5.25. Wing, 2.40. Above, olive, brightest on the rump,

 sibly winter resident in the southernmost counties.

 the ground was covered with snow.
