ORNITHOLOGICAL CLUB. 21 
Mr. C. M. Car];enter, — a male in 1874 and a female in 1876. Three or 
four were seen by me at Providence, R. I., May 23, 1875.” 
A male was also shot, by Mr. Shores, at Silver Spring, near Providence, 
June 24, 1875, and several others have been seen by him at different times 
in Providence and vicinity. 
2. Helmitherus vermivorus. Worm-eating Warbler. — Mr. 
Shores shot a male at Suffield (Hartford County), Conn., August 22, 
1874. This is, I think, its most northerly record in the Atlantic States 
yet noted. 
3. Helminthophaga celata. Orange-crowned Warbler. — Mr. 
Jencks writes me that a specimen was shot in Cranston, R. I., Decem- 
ber 3, 1874.” This is the fifth specimen reported for New England, and 
the second taken in the winter season.* 
4. Dendroeca caerulea. Blue Warbler. — A male was obtained by 
Mr. Shores at Suffield, June 12,T875. This species and Polio'ptila ccerulea, 
though previously recorded as occurring in Nevv England, have not been 
recently taken here. 
5. Myiodioctes mitratus. Hooded Warbler. — A male was shot 
at Suffield, Conn., by Mr. Shores, July 8, 1875. This bird, though found 
regularly along the Sound shore of Connecticut, has not been noticed so 
far northward before in New England. This, as well as a few other spe- 
cies characteristic of the Carolinian Fauna, will probably be found to 
extend up the river-valleys of Connecticut, though not passing farther 
eastward. 
6. Pyranga aestiva. Summer Redbird. — Mr. Jencks informs me 
that a male was shot a few years since on Ten-Mile River, six or eight miles 
northeast of Providence. It has appeared before, but is sufficiently rare 
here to merit notice. 
7. Stelgidopteryx serripennis. Rough- winged Swallow. — A 
female of this species was shot at Suffield, Conn,, by Mr. Shores, June 6, 
1874. At last this bird has been taken within our limits. It will be 
interesting to determine whether it proves to be in future a regular visitant 
to New England. 
8. Collurio ludovicianus var. excubitoroides. White-rumped 
Shrike. — A typical example of this variety was shot by Mr. Jencks in 
Cranston, R. I., September 2, 1873, and is now in his collection. Its pre- 
vious record of having been found within our borders is somewhat doubt- 
ful. I believe it is hardly found regularly much east of Buffalo, N. Y. 
In this connection I would say that the Collurio taken in Massachusetts, 
recorded by me in the “American Naturalist” (Vol. VII, 1873, p. 115), 
was a typical “ Loggerhead ” Shrike (C. ludovicianus). 
9. Milvulus forficatus. Swallow-tailed Flycatcher. — Mr. Jencks 
informs me that a specimen of this species was shot by Mr. Carpenter, at 
* See this Bulletin, Vol. I, p. 94, for its previous New England record.
