SYLVICOLID^. 



Mniotilta varia Vieill. — Black and White Creeper. 

 Commou summer resident. The majority, however, go 

 farther north, causing it to be most abundant in spring 

 and fall.

 No. 360, ?, " '• " " " "

XH-eothlypis trichas Cab. — Maryland Yellow-throated 

 Warbler. Abundant summer resident. " St/lvia Roscm 

 Aud." {Peab., p. 313), is the young of this species. 



No. 491, $, Essex Co. 



Nos. 523, 364, ? . Essex Co. S. Jillson, 1855. 



Geothlypis Philadelphia Baird. — Mourning Warbler. 

 Rare summer resident. Not often detected farther north 

 than Massachusetts ; in which state numerous instances 

 of its capture are recorded. (Waterville, Me. ; breeding ; 

 July; Hand., p. 3. — Hamilton, C. W., McIL, p. 85.) 



Oporornis agilis Baird. — Connecticut Warbler. Of 

 very rare occurrence as a summer visitor, doubtless breed- 

 ing at least as far north as Massachusetts. {Emm., p. 3 ; 

 Peab., p. 312; Putn., p. 226; Sam., p. 6; All., p. 82.) 



No. 522, $, Lynn, Essex Co. S. Jillson, Sept., 1856. 

 No. 521, ?, " " " " " " " 



Oporoi-nis formosa Baird. — Kentucky Warbler. The 

 occurrence of this species as a rare or casual summer vis- 

 itor in southern New England is to be confidently antici- 

 pated. (Near New York City, Lawrence, Ann. Lye. Nat. 

 Hist., N. Y. viii, 1866, p. 284.) I have found it breed- 

 ing at Washington, D. C. 



Protonotaria citrea Baird. — Prothonotary Warbler. A 

 summer visitor ; rare, and perhaps accidental. "Calais, Me. , 

 Oct. 30, 1862 ;" (Boardm., Verr., B. S. N. H., ix, p. 234, 

 only recorded instance) ; It is properly a bird of the South 

 Atlantic States, and its occurrence in New England must be 

 regarded as exceptional. (Omitted from Sam 0. O.)
