*60-62. If these are all true species of Regulus, there ought to be another, which 

 is more common than either, i, e. one which is not distinguished by any variety 

 of color in the crown from that of the back. Audubon mentions the fact that the 

 young in August are thus destitute of any peculiar color in the crown, but as late 

 as October and November last, I saw and took numbers of this description in my 

 garden. My own opinion is, that though all these peculiar marks of the crown 

 are very distinct in different individuals, yet that they are only indications of dif- 

 ferent ages of the same species, and therefore not even varieties of the Regulus. 

 The full feathered adult is probably Regulus tricolor, (vide also Dr. Kirtland's 

 Report on the Zoology of Ohio, to the Ohio legislature, 1838, p. 183.) 



*69, 70, 71, 73, and several others, are often extremely numerous at New Haven 

 in the month of May.— J. D. W. 



*72. Muscicapa Canadensis of Wilson. Where Stratford and New Haven are 

 mentioned, the birds are very rare.
