A Third Specimen of Lawrence's Warbler.— Wliile collecting in a piece 

 of low, swampy woods at Rye, Westchester Co., N. Y., on Aug. 31, 1888, 

 I shot a Warbler, which, on the identification of Prof. J. A. Allen., proved to 

 be a Lawrence's Warbler {Helminthophila lawrencei). This bird, an adult 

 male, is in excellent plumage. In comparison with the specimen in the 

 American Museum of Natural History, taken at Hoboken, N. J., the throat 

 patch is a more intense black while the black stripe through the eye is 

 broader, being of exactly the same extent as in H. ckrysoftera. In its 

 actions it resembled H. phius, though, of course, I did not wait long to 

 study its actions. The stomach contained very small beetles and larva;. 



This is the third specimen of this bird to date.— Clark G. Voorhees.

Helminthophila lawrencei. At Cold Spring Harbor, Long 

 Island, May 8, 1902, a specimen of Lawrence's Warbler was 

 secured. Nothing except its peculiar coloring was noted as dis- 

 tinguishing it from numbers of other warblers feeding in the same 

 trees with it. The specimen is a male, and seems perfectly 

 typical. This is the first recorded instance of its occurrence on 

 Long Island. -^^*^> Jan., 1^08, ^. 5^3- 



Capture of Lawrence's Warbler on Staten Island, N. Y.— At Richmond, 

 Staten Island, N. Y., on May 11, 1907, I found a Lawrence's Warbler 

 {Helminthophila lawrencei) on some dead bushes out in a dry field. Its 

 black throat and cheeks, sharply contrasted with the rich yellow of its 

 breast and crown, rendered it particularly conspicuous among the other 

 warblers present. Fortunately I was able to verify my observation by 

 shooting the bird, which proved to be a male, of typical color, with two 

 white bars on each wing, washed with yellow, and somewhat wider and 

 more confluent than is usual with the Blue-winRed Warbler.— James 

 Chapin, New Brighton, N. Y. ^Uk. 24. #nly. 1907, p. S^3
