At Edmundston some six examples of the Cape May Warbler 
were secured and as many of the Philadelphia Vireo. Neither of 
these species have been observed near St. John though Mr. 
Boardman reports the Cap May as a regular visitor to the neighbor- 
hood of St. Stephen and breeding there. The Philadelphia is 
recorded in New England-Bird life as the rarest of the Greenlets in 
those states ; and Mr. Everett Smith reports it “ uncommon ” in 
Maine. It is not given by Mr. Nathan C. Brown in his Catalogue 
of birds of the vicinity of Portland, and I can find a record of but 
two examples for Eastern Maine, one taken by Professor Verrill at 
Waterville in 1863 and the other by Mr. George A. Boardman at 
Calais in 1872. It not occurring regularly in Eastern Maine, and 
Mr. Batchelder finding it at Grand Falls in 1881, and our meeting it 
again in 1882 at Edmundston suggests the idea that the species 
must pass north by a western route, and journey more directly east 
after reaching the higher latitude. The specimens we secured were 
evidently mated.
