of these were shot on Somerset Island by Captain Tolcher, 56th 
Regiment, out of a flock of more than a hundred birds. In the 
Bartram collection are four specimens. It was the commonest 
species I met with in November and December, 1874, in the 
course of my evening rambles among the cedar groves of Devon- 
shire parish, Here [ obtained a few specimens, and could have 
shot many more had | wished. They were rather shy, and flew 
rapidly from tree to tree, with a lond “ chip” of alarm, showing the 
brilliant yellow of the rump plainly. Those I shot were all in 
winter plumage, the yellow crown concealed by brown feathers. 
Dendroéca castanea, Bay-breasted Warbler.—A young bird in 
the Bartram collection is the sole representative of the species. It 
is in obscure plumage, but shows the buffy tint on ‘the sides of the 
body so characteristic of the species. 
Dendroéca discolor, Prairie Warbler.—Only one, obtained by 
Major Wedderburn at the dockyard, Ireland Island, on- the 3rd 
October, 1848. 
Dendroéca palmarum, Yellow Redpoll Warbler.—Two shot by 
Major Wedderburn in Pembroke Marsh, on December 17th, 1847, 
and December 3rd, 1848, cat Mr. Bartram has two 
other specimens. 3 
Dendroéca pinus, Pine-creeping Warbler.— Has occurred in 
considerable numbers. A good many occurred on September 27th, 
1849, departing again in a few days. Several were captured outside 
the lantern of the lighthouse in the dark and rainy night of the 
5th September, 1850, On October 15th, 1850, Colonel Drummond * 
obtained specimens from a large flock, which he observed coming 
in from the sea and settling on some trees within the keep at 
Ireland Island. Mr. Bartram has two specimens, one of which (a 
wale in spring plumage) was shot near his house and brought to 
him while I was paying him a visit on March L6th, 1875. The 
species would seem, therefore, to visit the islands on both 
migrations. 
Seiurus aurocapillus, Golden-crowned Thrush.—I shot the first 
recorded specimen on the edge of Devonshire Swamp, on the 19th 
October, 1874. This brought to light another, shot in the autumn 
of 1873, and set up in a case with Blue and Red Birds by Gibbs, 
an old soldier of the 53rd Regiment, and an excellent taxidermist, 
in the service of Lieut. Johnston, R.E. I afterwards identified two 
others, killed a few years ago, in Mr. Bartram’s possession. The -
