AuJr, XTT, July, 1895, P-S"?- 

 Helminthophila leucobronchialis in Maryland. — An adult male speci- 

 men of this Warbler was shot at Beltville, Md., not far from Washington, 

 D. C, on the first of May, this year, by Mr. A. H. Thayer, who brought 

 it to the National Museum for identification. The bird was secured in 

 exchange for the National Museum collection (Museum register No. 

 150,120). It is a very typical one, absolutely without any trace of 

 yellow on the breast or abdomen, but with rather more black on the post- 

 ocular streak than is shown in the plate accompanying the description of 

 the type, and considerably more than in the specimen shot by Mr. Wm. 

 Palmer near Washington, May 8, 1885 (No. 105,684). Some of the feathers 

 of the cheeks are black, a feature not shown in the type, nor in the above- 

 mentioned example collected by Mr. Palmer. The back is clear ashy 

 gray, with the faintest possible tinge of yellow in the interscapular 

 region. The crown and wing bands are bright yellow, as in the 

 type.— Chas. W. Richmond, Washington, D. C.
