N. H. (Forest and Stream, vi, p. 354), by Mr. W. H. Fox, the 

 other by Mr. Wm. Brewster, Oct. 2, 1876, at Concord, Mass. (Nutt. 

 Bull., I, p. 95). 



Dendroiea Blackburni93 Bd. This bird was accidentally 

 dropped out of the catalogue ; it is migratory in spring and fall, and a 

 summer resident from Connecticut northward, though not common in 

 southern New England. Mr. Merriam (Birds of Ct., p. 16) thinks a 

 few breed in that State. It certainly breeds in Massachusetts. 



Dendroiea cserulescens Bd. Rev. C. M. Jones (Nutt. Bull., i. 

 p. 11) mentions this species as breeding in Eastford, in the north- 

 east corner of Connecticut, in two instances. 



Dendroiea cserulea Bd. This western species is said to have 

 been taken at Suffield, Conn. (Nutt. Bull., n, p. 21; Merriam's Birds 

 of Conn., p. 16). I therefore venture to add this bird to my list, 

 though not without much hesitation. It is not recorded by Mr. Law- 

 rence as a bird of eastern New York, and must be purely accidental 

 here. 



Dendroiea Auduboni Bd. Mr. A. M. Frazar (Nutt. Bull., ir, 

 p. 27) records the capture of a single example of this western spe- 

 cies in Cambridge, Mass., Nov. 15, 1876. The occurrence, if au- 

 thentic, must be regarded as exceptional and accidental. 



Dendroiea dominica Vieill. This species having been re- 

 corded by Mr. Lawrence as a bird of south-eastern New York, its 

 occurrence in western and southern Connecticut was not unantici- 

 pated. Mr. Merriam (Birds of Conn., p. 19) cites it as a rare and 

 accidental visitor, near New Haven, on the authority of Dr. E. L. 

 K. Thompson, and near Hartford, on that of Dr. Daniel Crary. 



Oporornis formosus Bd. Mr. Merriam (Birds of Conn., p. 

 23) cites this species as a rare summer visitant, on the authority of 

 Mr. Shores of Suffield, and Mr. I. G. Ely of Lyme. This is the 

 first authentic evidence on record of the kind. 



Icteria virens Bon. As a rare summer visitant this bird can 

 claim the addition of New Hampshire to its area of reproduction. A 

 nest of this species, with four eggs, was taken by my young friend, 

 C. A. Hawes, one of our active and progressive ornithologists, in 

 North Conway, N. II., in the summer of 1877. 



Myiodioetes mitratus Aud. Mr. Merriam, in his Birds of 

 Conn. (pp. 25, 26), supplies some very valuable notes relative to this 

 species, showing that instead of its being a rare summer resident, it
