20 COUES, BIRDS OF NEW ENGLAND. 



SAXICOLID^. 



Saxicola oenanthe Bechst. — Stone Chat. A species 

 which occurs as a straggler from Europe, by way of 

 Greenland, to the eastern portions of New England, es- 

 pecially along the coast. Mr. Cassiu has recorded it from 

 Nova Scotia, and I found it in Labrador. Long Island, 

 Lawrence, Ann. N. Y. Lye. Nat. Hist., viii, p. 282.

abundantly and generally distributed.

MOTACILLID^. 



Anlhus Ludovicianus Licht. — Tit-lark. — Chiefly spring 

 and autumn migrant. Abundant. Some probably winter 

 in the Connecticut Valley, and a few may possibly breed 

 high up in Maine. By far the greater number, howevei', 

 go farther north to breed, and farther south to pass the 

 winter.

SYLVIID^. 



Regulus calendulus Licht. — Ruby-crowned Kinglet.

Regulus satrapus Licht. (Regulus cristatus and R. tri- 

 color of Linsley, p. 256.) — Golden-crested Kinglet. 

 Common winter resident, except perhaps in the extreme 

 north, where some doubtless breed. Is most abundant, ■ 

 however, in all localities, in spring and fall. 



Polioptila ccerulea Sclat. — Blue-gray Gnat-catcher. A 

 rare and perhaps accidental summer visitor. "Found in 

 Mass., and as far north as the Canada line." (Brew., 

 quoted by Pea6., p. 297.) — "Nova Scotia and Connec- 

 ticut." (All, p. 83.) (Omitted from Sam. O. O.) It is 

 very abundant as far north as the Middle States.
