doubtless breed in the more northern portions. "Head 

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

 Mass., in May and Sept. {All., p. 61.) It is a species 

 which goes ^ery far north in the interior of America. 



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



Helminthophaga pina Baird. — Blue-winged Yellow 

 Warbler. Very rare summer visitoi' to the more south- 

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

 vi, p. 386 ; Patn.,^ p. 227 ; All., p. 82 ; 8am., p. 6.) Not 

 recorded from Maine. " 8. solitaria " of the earlier writers. 



Helminthophaga chrysoptera Baird. — Golden-winged 

 Warbler. Very rare summer visitant to the more south- 

 ern" portions. (Mass., Cab., B. S. N. H., vi, p. 386; 

 Peab., p. 312 ; PiUn., p. 227 ; All., p. 82 ; 8am., p. 6.) 

 Xot 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" {All., p. 61). Near New York City, 

 {Lawrence, Ann. Lye. Nat. Hist., N. Y., viii, p. 284.) 



8eiurus aurocapillus Swains. — Golden-crowned Wag- 

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



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



Seiurus JVbvceboracensis 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, althorugh it has never, I believe, been actually 

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

 N. Y. Lj^c. viii, p. 284.) Dr. Prentiss and mj'self have 

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

 Report for 1861, p. 407.)
