Two MORE SPECIMENS OF H elmiii thofha gel leucobronchialis FROM 

 Sing Sing, N.Y. — While collecting with Mr. Eugene P. Bicknell, on 

 Croton Point, among some small pines, July 24, 1881. I shot a specimen 

 of the above-named Warbler. We were attracted by a flock of small birds 

 flitting through the pines, composed of Chickadees, Yellow Warblers, 

 Black-and-White creepers, and Blue-winged Yellow Warblers. While 

 following these up we got a glimpse at this bird and killed it as it flew 

 to the ground in pursuit of an insect. This specimen differs from others 

 in having a black auricular patch. Sex not absolutely determined, as the 

 bird was badly shot, but it was apparently a female. 



On August 3, j88i, I shot another specimen, in some low bushes border- 

 ing a stream, near where I procured a specimen August 24, 1879.* It 

 resembled that specimen in having a yellow pectoral bijnd, but, unlike it, 

 the wing-bands were normal: yellow, not white.— A. K. Fisher, M. D..

Capture of two more Specimens of Helminthophila leucobronchialis 

 at Sing Sing, New York. -On August 11. 1883, I killed two specimens of 

 the so-called White-throated Warbler {Helmiutkophila leucobronchiali.) 

 The under parts of both specimens are much more deeply suffu.sed with 

 yellow than is the case in any of my other three .specimens ; in fact, the 

 yellow on one is evenly distributed over tlie entire under surface, but is 

 not so deep as in Helminthophila pi»u,.-K. K. Fisher. M. D., Sins-

Brief Notes from Long Island. —The spring of 1892, peculiar in many 

 .respects, has brought a number of rare birds to Long Island. On May 16, 

 jat Parkville, Qiieens County, I secured a typical male of Brewster's Warbler 

 V Helmiutkophila leucohronckialis). So far as I can find out, this form has 

 Inever before been taken on Long Island, though found occasionally in 

 iNew Jersey and the Hudson River valley. I had no opportunity to 

 observe its habits, as it was migrating with other species in the tree top^, ^ 

 ■ and I shot it at once for identity. ^2aJ^C^'r"gf ^^-^^j^^:^ C/^A-^^^r-^ A^-

Evidence Concerning the Interbreeding of Helminthophila chrysop- 

 tera and H. pinus.— On July 4, 1885, while collecting specimens in a piece 

 of woods underlaid by a scattering undergrowth, I came upon a female 

 Golden-winged Warbler busily engaged in collecting insects. As I stood 

 watching her she flew to a neighboring cedar tree and commenced to feed 

 a young bird. I immediately shot and killed the latter as the female flew 

 away. The noise of the discharge started another young bird from some 

 bushes near by, and as it flew the female flew and alighted near it. Just as 

 I was on the point of firing they started, and I succeeded in wounding the 

 female only and had to follow and kill her with a second shot. On my 

 return to the place where I first shot at her, I could not find the young 

 one, nor did a careful search disclose it. In advancing for a nearer shot I 

 had a good opportunity of seeing the young bird : it closely resembled its 

 inother in appearance and had no yellow on the breast, whereas the one 

 killed was the exact counterpart of the young of the Blue-winged Yellow 

 Warbler, with its yellow breast and white wing-bars. 



In all probability the father of this interesting family was a specimen of 

 Helminthofhila pinus.— K. K. Fisher, M. D., Sing Sing, New York.
