BIRDS OF DURHAM AND VICINITY. 
Pirang-a rubra. Summer Tanager. 6io. 
Summer Tanagers have been seen at Franklin, this state. Specimens 
have been taken in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Massachusetts. 
Their ordinary habitat is the southeastern portion of the United 
States. 
Ampelis garrulus. Bohemian Waxwing. 6i8. 
The Bohemian Waxwing, as its name implies, is a wanderer. It 
rarely shows itself in New England, yet it is a possibility any winter. 
Vireo philadelphicus. Philadelphia Vireo. 626. 
This vireo breeds in the White Mountains and Maine, and ouirht 
to be found here occasionally in the micturating period. It bears so 
close a resemblance to the Warbling Vireo that it is likely to pass 
unnoticed. 
Vireo noveboracensis. White-eyed Vireo. 621. 
The White-eye is rare. A single report of one found at Franklin is 
all the evidence of its presence in the state that I have. It comes 
regularly to Massachusetts and Nova Scotia. 
Helminthophila peregrina. Tennessee Warbler. 647. 
Tennessee Warblers breed in the north and must pass this way 
twice a year, yet they are rarely seen. Mr. Goodhue has found them 
at Webster. 
Dendroica tigrina. Cape Mav Warbler. 650. 
The Cape May Warbler, like the last, is a rare migrant that is 
likely to be found here sooner or later. It has been seen at Webster. 
Dendroica paimarum. Palm Warbler. 672. 
This is the form of which the Yellow Palm is made a sub-species. 
It belongs in the interior, but it appears quite regularly during the last 
week of September, according to Mr. Brewster (Land and Game Birds 
of New England, 2d ed., p. 469). 
Thryothorus bewickii. Bewick's Wren. 719. 
There is a specimen of this wren in the college collection, taken by 
the writer at Alton, April 25, 1890. I am not aware that it has been 
seen elsewhere in New England.
