Mr. Langdon notes the capture by Mr. H. E. Chubb, of Cleveland, of 

 two specimens of this very rare warbler, a male and female, on May 4th 

 and 12th, respectively. Mr. Chubb furnishes me the following inter- 

 esting notes of their capture : 



"Both were in shrubby fields not over three feet from the ground. The male 

 was under my eye for probably five minutes. I was after a Chat, the first of the season 

 I had heard, and while cautiously trying to get sight of him through the bushes I 

 noticed what I supposed was one of the small Flycatchers, perch near me. From this 

 base of operations he made several sallies after insects, returning to the same perch. 

 Not finding the Chat, and it being about time to return home, I thought best to empty 

 my barrel at the Flycatcher, as he was showing some peculiar motions. You can 

 imagine my delight when nearing him, in seeing the pale yellow belly of a Kirtland 

 Wa/rbler which I recognized at once. I shot the female, half sospeoting what it was, and 

 the fear of losing her cut short my opportunity for study. She was about two feet from 

 the ground working up from the roots of a shrub. I am inclined to think they are rather 

 terrestrial in their habits, frequenting bnshy fields near woods."
