Capture of the Worm-i:ating Warbler in Massachusetts. — On 

 September 19, i88i, I shot in some low moist woods in Cambridge, a 

 fine female Worm-eating Warbler {Helmitherus vermivo7-us). This is 

 the first capture of this bird in Massachusetts. The only previous note 

 of its occurrence in this State on record is that of Mr. W. A. Stearns, who 

 says he saw one at Easthampton, Mass. (see New England Bird Life, p. 

 III). — Henry M. Spelman, Cambridge, Mass.
