Annotated List of Species III 



Note : Helminthophila leucobronchialis (Brewst.). Brewster's War- 

 bler. 



The claims of this supposed species to recognition seem still to be in 

 doubt, hence it is not here enumerated. Typical specimens have been re- 

 corded from Hudson,' in May or June, 1858, and Newtonville, May 18, 

 1870. -This is the typespecimen. (See Brewster; Bull. Nutt. Orn. Club, 

 Vol. VI, i88i, pp. 218-225, and Ridgway; Auk, Vol. II, 1885, pp. 359-363, 

 and Brewster; ibid.. Vol. Ill, 1886, p. 411.) 



303. Helminthophila pinus (Linn.). Blue-winged War- 

 bler. 



Accidental from the south. The records are: Dedham, "a 

 small flock " was found about the 12th or 15th of May, 1857, by 

 E. A. Samuels. It seems probable that one of these birds is the 

 specimen referred to by Cabot in 1858 as presented to the Boston 

 Society of Natural History ; 3 West Roxbury, a male was captured 

 May 17, 1878, by Mr. C. N, Hammond;* Dorchester^ one was 

 seen May 15, 1897, by Forster H. Brackett;" Taunton, one was 

 taken by J. H. Morse (date unknown)." 



304. Helmitherus vermivorus (Gmel.). Worm-eating 

 Warbler. 



Accidental from the south. The records are: Easthamptoii, W. 

 A. Stearns says he has seen the bird there : ' Cambridge, a female 

 was shot September 19, 1881, by Mr. Henry M. Spelman ; " Mr. 

 [A. L.] Babcock feels very certain that he took an example of this 

 species at Sherborn .... but the specimen was not preserved ; ' 

 Peabody's (1839, P- 3 ''2) statement that it nested at Cambridge 

 was without doubt an error. 



305. Protonotaria citrea (Bodd.). Prothonotary War- 

 bler. 



Accidental from the south. The records are : South Abington,
