brown, tinged with bluish, especially on the upper parts. The 

 other birds in this lot averaged as the normal bird would do. 



Of the twenty stomachs examined the food consisted as fol- 

 lows : Corn, fruit and other grains, 40 per cent ; beetles, 10 per 

 cent : vertebrates, 23 per cent ; lepidoptera, 15 per cent ; spiders, 

 2 per cent, and miscellaneus invertebrates, 10 per cent. 



Of the first division, corn (yellow) made up 75 per cent and the 

 remainder consisted of oats and rye. In the second division ground 

 beetles composed wholly the food of this class ; of the vertebrates, 

 were remains of several species of batrachians and field mice ; of 

 the lepidoptera were numerous caterpillars and moths ; of the 

 arachnida were numerous Geometrical spiders and an occasional 

 crayfish, and the miscellaneous invertebrates consisted of earth- 

 worms and other unrecognizable materials.

TWO BREWSTER'S WARBLERS AT LEONARDO. N. J. 



On May 4, 1913, at Leonardo, Monmouth Co., New Jersey, two 

 specimens of the Helininthophilw leucohronchiaUs appeared among 

 a small group of second growth maples near the northern end of 

 the town between the New Jersey Central Railroad tracks and the 

 seashore. The first of these birds to be seen was an adult male 

 and differed slightly from the typical male of this species by hav- 

 ing a small circular spot ol; clear yellow in the center of the breast 

 about one-quarter of an inch in diameter. The wing bars were 

 white as in the H. chrysoptera and the side, just below the middle 

 of the wings, was washed with a faint but conspicuous yellowish 

 tinge. 



The second was also a male and differed very slightly from the 

 typical male. In this specimen the yellow on the breast was re- 

 placed by a very faint tinge of black appearing under the surface 

 of the feathers of the breast. These two birds were in company 

 with fifteen or sixteen HeJminthophUa chrysoptera and ■ were 

 present about an hour, during which time they afforded excellent 

 opportunities for observing them at close range, as they were very 

 sociable and allowed me to approach within five or six feet of 

 them before moving off to another branch of the saplings in which 

 they were feeding.
