DENDROICA.

TJntil recently, the only authenticated and known specimen of thia 

 species was the type, No. 4,3()3, killed by Dr. Kirtland, near Cleve- 

 land, Ohio, May, 1851, and prepared by myself. I have, however, 

 lately found a second skin in the collection of Dr. Samuel Cabot, Jr., 

 of Boston, taken at sea between the island of Abaco and Cuba. The 

 plumage is not quite so matured as in the type, and lacks the dark 

 spots on the jugulum ; it is, however, otherwise very similar. A 

 third specimen (female) is reported in the Ohio Farmer for June 9, 

 1860, as killed that season near Cleveland, and preserved by Mr. 

 R. K. Winslow, who states that the late Wm. Case, of Cleveland, 

 also killed a specimen, but did not preserve it. Dr. Hoy also thinks 

 he has seen it at Racine. A careful search in the vicinity of Cleve- 

 land, about the middle of May, will probably be rewarded by the 

 discovery of additional specimens.
