304 CHAPMAN, Birds in the Vicinity of Englewood, N. F. [October 
a statement he quite naturally supposed would be disbelieved. While I 
did not see these birds, Mr. Demarest’s description and the fact that they 
were found alighting on bayberry bushes, on the fruit of which they were 
probably feeding, leaves no doubt as to their identity. 
11. Lanius ludovicianus. LoGGERHEAD SHRIKE.—August 24, 1888, a 
male of the year of this species was taken at Tappan on the New York- 
New Jersey State line. Mr.C. K. Averill records the capture of an imma- 
ture bird of this species at Bridgeport, Connecticut, August 29,* 1888, and 
Mr. Dutcher a second from Suffolk Co., L.I., August 28, 1888. These 
three captures of young birds at different localities so near the same date 
in connection with previous records would suggest migration of this species 
from the zor¢h during the latter part of August. 
12. Helminthophila leucobronchialis. BREwSsTER’s WARBLER.—The 
capture of three specimens of this puzzling hybrid has been before 
recorded. { 
13. Helminthophilaruficapilla. NasHvILLE WARBLER. —In a paper 
reaa before the Linnean Society of New York, December 7, 1888, I pre- 
sented the following record: § 
‘¢ The circumstances attending the capture of a female Nashville War- 
bler on June 16, 1887, strongly indicate that the bird was breeding here; the 
sharp ch¢ and anxious appearance of the bird, the shrivelled skin and ab- 
sence of feathers on the abdomen and lower breast, I considered excellent 
evidence that there wasa nest somewhere in the vicinity, which, however, 
careful search failed to reveal. Mr. J. A. Allen, to whom I showed the 
specimen in the flesh agreed with me that in all probability it was a breed- 
ing bird.” 
14. Geothlypis formosa. KerNTucKy WARBLER. — In the paper above 
referred to I also recorded the Kentucky Warbler as a rather rare but 
regular summer resident on the Palisades at Englewood, a single nest 
containing five nearly grown young having been found June 16, 1886. || 
15- Mimus polyglottos. Mockrncpirp.— I take from my note-book 
the following record concerning the breeding of Mockingbirds at Tenafly, 
N. J., three miles north of Englewood. These notes were given me by Mr. 
Martin, an old resident of the locality, and are corroborated by Mr. J. F. 
Paulison on whose lawn the birds were found nesting. After learning of 
their occurrence I visited the place on a number of occasions in what 
proved to be a vain hope of seeing these birds, butso far as known they did 
not return after the year 1885. Mr. Martin’s story as I received it from 
him January 3, 1886, is substantially as follows: Ten or twelve years ago 
a pair of Mockingbirds appeared on Mr. Paulison’s lawn, but a short dis- 
tance from Mr. Martin’s home; he watched their movements and discov- 
ered their nest, placed in an evergreen about ten feet from the ground.
