Smith's Longspur breeds in the Mackenzie River region, from 

 Great Slave Lake to Herschell Island, and, like many other spe- 

 cies which breed in that region, seems to have a route of migra- 

 tion from the northwest into this state. 



16. Vermivora pinus (Linn.). Blue-winged Warbler. 



Mr. Loomis obtained a specimen of this species at Chester on 

 April 30, 1887, which he recorded in the Auk. 3 I have never 

 seen it in the coast region, and its occurrence at Chester is the 

 only well authenticated record for the State. 



The Blue-winged Warbler breeds abundantly in southern 

 Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, etc., and winters in east- 

 ern Mexico, Guatemala, and Colombia. 



17. Vermivora chrysoptera (Linn.). Golden-winged 

 Warbler. 



This species is apparently a rare autumn migrant in Chester 

 county, where Mr. Loomis secured four specimens in August 

 and September. He found it breeding, however, in the moun- 

 tains in Pickens county, and at Casar's Head, Greenville county. 

 These records were announced in the Auk.* 



The Golden-winged Warbler winters in Central America and 

 Colombia. 



18. Dendroica magnolia (Wils.). Magnolia Warbler. 



The Magnolia Warbler is an abundant transient visitant in 

 Chester county, where it has been observed during the first two 

 weeks of May, and from September 3 until the middle of October. 5 



This species breeds from the mountains of Pennsylvania to 

 Hudson Bay, and winters in Mexico and Central America. 



19. Dendroica caerulea (Wils.). Cerulean Warbler. 



This beautiful warbler is rare east of the Alleghany Mountains. 

 In Chester county, Mr. Loomis 6 considers it a rare though regular 

 migrant, occurring in spring from April 13 to 30, and also in 

 late summer and in fall, August 8 to October 22. 



The breeding range of the Cerulean Warbler is chiefly the
