180 BIRDS OF BERMUDA. 
Length, ¢.75; wing, 2.34; tail, 1.90. 
Hab.—Eastern North America, south to Guatemala, north to Nova 
Scotia, west to Missouri, Mexico, West Indies, Greenland (Coues). 
This diminutive bird seems hardly fitted for a journey of 600 miles 
across the ocean. Nevertheless, five examples are on record, viz, one: 
shot by Canon Tristram at Ireland Island, on April 21, 1849; one found 
by Mr. Hurdis in 1853, in a collection of Bermuda skins sent to him for 
examination; two others seen by myself, one being shot near Devon- 
shire Swamp on October 19, 1874. My bird proved to be a male in 
brilliant plumage; the other, probably a female, escaped. The two 
were fluttering and creeping about at the extreme end of a large cedar 
branch, like a veritable Parus. Mr. Bartram shot one near his house 
on the 26th March, 1878.

I had the pleasure of examining and identifying a specimen of this 
handsome warbler, the only one yet obtained, in Mr. Bartram’s collee- 
tion. It was presented to him by Mr. Hyland, jr., of Saint George’s, 
who shot it, near that town, out of a small flock of the species, in the 
autumn of 1874, and had just been preserved when I saw it.
