TOWNSEND AND ALLEN: LABRADOR BIRDS. 405 



took six more eggs and shot and stuffed both the male and female 

 birds. 



[Vireo olivaceus (Linn.). Red-eyed Vireo. — We have no exact record 

 of this bird for Labrador although Verrill found it common at Anticosti. 

 Nuttall says it "'appears to inhabit every part of the American continent 

 from Labrador to ... . Jamaica."] 



[Vireo philadelphicus (Cass.). Philadelphia Vireo. — One was obtained 

 at Moose Factory in 1860, but there is no record for Labrador.] 



[Vireo noveboracensis (Gmel.). White-eyed Vireo. — The only record 

 of this bird for Labrador is that of Audubon ('39, p. 431) : "A few were seen 

 by me in Labrador." As this is a bird of the Upper Austral zone, the record 

 has been discredited by J. A. Allen (Packard, '91, p. 415), yet it breeds regu- 

 larly as far north as Essex County, Massachusetts, and stragglers have been 

 recorded from New Brunswick, Cape Breton, Ontario, and Newfoundland. 

 It would perhaps be no more remarkable than the record of the Little Blue 

 Heron. It is possible, however, that Audubon confused the Philadelphia Vireo 

 with this species.] 



[Mniotilta varia (Linn.). Black and White Creeper.— Drexler took 

 this bird at Moose Factory and Brewster found it at Anticosti, but we have 

 no records for Labrador.] 



Helminthophila rubricapilla (Wils.). 

 Nashville Warbler. 



Very rare summer visitor in the southern part. 



The only record is that of Audubon ('39, p. 461): "A few were 

 procured by us in Labrador." Cooke ('04, p. 37) does not record 

 this bird northeast of Gasp6 Bay. Audubon's record is unique, but 

 can hardly be doubted. 



Helminthophila peregrina (Wils.). 



Tennessee Warbler. 



Not uncommon summer resident in Hudsonian zone. 



Packard states that it was obtained by Drexler at Fort George, 

 James Bay, in June and July, 1860. Low says it is " not rare at Lake 

 Mistassini" where it arrived between the 1st and 15th of June.
