COUES, BIEDS OF NEW ENGLAND. 271 



doubtless breed in the more northern portions. "Head 

 waters of the Penobscot in June." ( Verr., p. 21.) Springf. 

 Mass., in May and Sept. (AIL, p. 61.) It is a species 

 which goes very far north in the interior of America. 



Nos. 519, 520. Essex Co. S. Jillson, 1855. 



Helminthophaga pina Baird. — Bhie-winged Yellow 

 Warbler. Very rare sunmier visitor to the more south- 

 ern portions. (Mass. Emm., p. 3; Gab., B. S. N. H., 

 vi, p. 386 ; Putn., p. 227 ; All., p. 82 ; Sam., p. 6.) Not 

 recorded from Maine. " S. soUtaria" of the earlier writers. 



Helminthophaga chrysoptera Baird. — Golden-winged 

 Warbler. Very rare summer visitant to the more south- 

 em portions. (Mass., Cah., B. S. N. H., vi, p. 386; 

 Peab., p. 312; Putn., p. 227; AIL, p. 82; Sam., p. 6.) 

 Not recorded from Maine. 



No. 493. Hudson, Mass. S. Jillson, 1862. 



Helminthophaga celata Baird. — Orange -crowned 

 Warbler. A very common species of Western North 

 America ; but Audubon's statement of its occurrence in 

 Nova Scotia was almost its only eastern record until Mr. 

 Allen detected it near Springfield, Mass. "Very rare; 

 perhaps accidental" (AIL, p. 61). Near New York City, 

 (Lawrence, Anw. Lye. Nat. Hist., N. Y., viii, p. 284.) 



Seiurus aur'ocapillus Swains. — Golden-crowned Wag- 

 tail. " Oven-bird." Abundant summer resident. 



No. 489, $, adult. Essex Co, S. Jillson, 1855. 



Seiurus Novodhoracensis Nutt. — Water Wag-tail. Sum- 

 mer resident. Apparently not very abundant. The spe- 

 cies has a most extensive breeding range, which includes 

 the greater part of North America. In winter it mostly 

 retires into the Antilles and Central America. 



No. 490, adult. Essex Co. S. Jillson, Spring of 1855. 



Seiurus Ludovicianus Bon. — Large -billed Water 

 Thrush. Doubtless occurs in summer in the southern 

 portions, although it has never, I believe, been actually 

 detected in New England. (Near New York, Laivr. , Ann. 

 N. Y. Lye. viii, p. 284.) Dr. Prentiss and myself have 

 found it common at Washington, D. C. (Smithsonian 

 Report for 1861, p. 407.)
