Mr. Townseiid also saw as late as the first of January small 

 flocks of the Yellow-rumped Warbler {Dendrceca coronata), in the 

 woods,! near the shore, at Magnolia, Mass. This bird has been 

 known to linger as late as the early part of December on Cape 

 Cod, but never so far north of the Cape. 



These instances all point to the probability that many of our 

 autumn visitors took advantage of the season to prolong their stay 

 beyond their usual custom.

TriK Yellow-rcmpud Warbler {Denrhceca coronata) wintekikg 

 IN SwAMPScoTT, Mass. — During the last three j^ears I have been in 

 the habit of finding these birds in December. But this year I have quite 

 frequently seen flocks of from five to forty birds flying about among the 

 bushes and junipers. I have taken specimens tliis winter on December 

 14, 1878, February 1, and February 8, 1879. Their occurrence here this 

 winter cannot be due to fiivorable weather, since the winter has been 

 severe, and for at least three weeks before the last capture the ground 

 was covered with snow. Cape Cod, as given in Mr. Allen's " List of the 

 Birds of Massachusetts," is the most northern locality in which this bird > 

 has previously been known to winter, though most recent lists suggest the 



probability of the Yellow-rumps spending the winter with us. J. A.
