collection, shot by Mr. Bartram in a field of arrow-root on his farm not 
many years since. No others are recorded.

ington Territory, Colorado, Arctic coast, Greenland, Mexico, Central 
America, West Indies. (Coues.) 
Several examples are recorded in ‘The Naturalist in Bermuda.” 
Three of these were shot on Somerset Island by Captain Tolcher, Fifty- 
sixth 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 even- 
ing rambles among the cedar groves of Devonshire parish. Here I 
obtained a few specimens, and could have shot many more had I wished. 
They were rather shy, and flew rapidly from tree to tree, with a loud 
“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. 
19. Dendroica castanea, (Wils.) Bd. Bay-breasted Warbler. 
Sylvia castanea, Wils., Bp., Nutt., Aud. 
Sylvicola castanea, Rich., Bp., Aud., Hoy. 
Mniotilta castanea, Gray.

Sylvia autumnalis, Wils., Nutt., Aud. 
Length, 5.00; wing, 3.05; tail, 2.40. 
Hab.—Eastern Provinces of North America to Hudson’s Bay; Guate- 
mala, south to Isthmus of Darien. Not recorded from Mexico or West 
Indies. (B. B. & R.) 
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.
