20. Geothlypis trichas Cab. Maryland Yellow-throated 

 Warbler. 



Common during summer at Norway (Verrill), Hamilton (Mcll- 

 wraith), and Quebec (Couper). Not very common at Uinbagog in 

 June. Breeds about June 8th. A widely distributed species, breed- 

 ing over nearly the whole continent of North America. ■ ' . 



21. Geothlypis Philadelphia Baird. Mourning Warbler. 

 Common at Umbagog in June. Breeds. Mr. Brewster has taken 



the nearly fledged young at Franconia in spring (Mcllwraith) . Not 

 given at Quebec (Couper), or at Norway (Yerrill). It frequents the 

 bushes along fences, stone walls and the edges of woods. The male 

 may be seen in the early morning perched on the top rail of a fence, 

 or dead branch of a tree singing. The song is loud and clear, some- 

 what resembling that of the Water Thrush. 



22. Helminthophaga ruficapilla Baird. Nashville War- 

 bler. 



Not very common at Umbagog during summer. Breeds about 

 June 1st. Bare at Norway during summer (Yerrill). Common at 

 Hamilton (Mclll wraith) , Franconia and Gorhani (Brewster). Not 

 given by Couper at Quebec. This is no doubt the northern limit of 

 this species. 



23. Helminthophaga peregrina Cab. Tennessee Warbler. 

 Very common at Umbagog during the breeding season. Also at 



Mill town, Maine (Boardman). Not given by Mcllwraith at Hamil- 

 ton, Couper at Quebec, by Yerrill at Norway, or by Brewster at Gor- 

 ham and Franconia. This beautiful little species breeds at Upton; 

 two or three females were taken about June 8th, which showed 

 every evidence of incubating, yet we were unable to discover the 

 nest, though diligent search was made for it in localities near where 

 it must have been built. The nest is probably placed on the ground 

 after the manner of all this genus. This bird is found in all wooded 

 localities in the region north of the neighboring mountain range, 

 which is without doubt its southern limit during the breeding season. 

 Its song bears a resemblance to that of H. ruficapilla, only the notes 

 of the first part are more divided and the latter part is shriller. The 

 male, while singing, is generally perched on some high? dead branch. 

 In this habit it resembles the H. ruficapilla and H. clirysopiera.
