BIRDS OF PENNSYLVANIA. 245 



48. Hclminthophila chrysoptera (Linn. 



Golden-winged Warbler. 642. Rare spring and fall migrant. Prof. S. F. 

 Baird obtained an adult male July 8, 1845, at Carlisle, Cumberland 

 county. 



249. H. ruficapilla (Wils.). 



Nashville Warbler. 645. Rather common spring and fall migrant. 



250. //. eclat a (Say.). 



Orange-crowned Warbler. 646. Rare visitant. November 2, 1867, Mr. C. 

 D. Wood, of Philadelphia, shot an adult male in Bucks county. 



251. H. peregrina (Wils.). 



Tennessee Warbler. 647. In eastern Pennsylvania this species occurs in 

 spring only as a very rare sojourner (arriving in Chester county May 20 

 to 25. Barnard. In the autumn (September) the Tennessee Warbler 

 is a common visitant about apple orchards and forests, frequenting in 

 the latter, beech trees (Fagusferruginea). The Messrs. Baird writing 

 of this bird in Cumberland county, say : " 1840, not seen ; 1841, one 

 seen ; 1842, very abundant in autumn ; 1843, not seen, migratory." 



252. *Comp$ot-hlypis americana (Linn.). 



Parula Warbler. 648. Mr. George B. Sennett informs me that this warbler 

 breeds in Crawford county. Mr. George W. Roberts, Allerton farm, 

 West Chester, Pa., shot, in the summer of 1886, several of these birds 

 (worn plumage) in Centre county, and reported the species to be quite 

 plentiful in that locality. I have seen individuals of this species in 

 Chester and Berks counties, as late as June 27 ; have also observed a few 

 in Schuylkill and Dauphin counties the first week in July. 



253. Dendroica tigrina (Gniel). 



Cape May Warbler 650. Migrant May and September. Rather rare in 

 spring ; tolerably abundant in the autumn. 



254. *D. a'stiva (Ginel.). 



Yellow Warbler 652. 



255. *J). ccerulescens (Gmel.). 



Black-throated Blue Warbler. 654. Common migrant, May and Septem- 

 ber ; breeds in the mountainous districts. 



256. D. coronata (Linn.). 



Myrtle Warbler. 655. Common 'migrant ; arrives some times as early as 

 the first week in April, usually, however, appears about April 20, and 

 returns in October. A few individuals are occasionally seen during mild 

 winters. 



257. D. maculosa (Gmel.). 



Magnolia Warbler. 657. Common migrant ; May and September. 



258. D. c&rulea (Wils.). 



Cerulean Warbler 658. Exceedingly rare migrant ; May and September. 



259. #D. pennsylvanica (Linn.). 



Chestnut-sided Warbler 659. Common migrant May and September: 

 " Breeds in Crawford and Erie counties." Geo. J5. Sennett. Have seen 

 a few of these birds in summer in Chester, Lancaster and Delaware 

 counties and am inclined to think that future investigations will show 

 that the species occurs in said districts as an occasional breeder. 



260. D. castanea (Wils.). 



Bay-breasted Warbler 660. Migrant; May and September. 



261. D. striata (Forst). 



Black-poll Warbler. 661. Common migrant May and September. 

 262.* D. blackburnice (Gmel.). 



Blackburn iaii Warbler 662. Migrant, May and September ; some seasons 

 quite common. Especially in the autumn. Given by the Messrs. Baird 

 as a native in Cumberland county ; breeds also Mr. Sennett tells me, in 

 Crawford and Erie counties.
