Dendrceca palmarum palmaedm in New York. — In the spring 
of 1877 I secured two specimens of Dendrceca palmarum, which, differing 
from the ordinary Eastern form of this species ( hypochrysea ) agreed closely 
with the description of var. palmarum, Bulg. To avoid all possible error 
of identification, however, the birds were submitted to Mr. Kidgway, who 
pronounces them typical palmarum, one of them being “ unusually bright. 
This bird is therefore entitled to a place in the New York fauna, which 
connects the most eastern records of its occurrence as given by Mr. Kidg- 
way _ Carlisle, Pa. and Washington, D. C. — with the isolated New Eng- 
land one since made by Mr. Deane. I take the liberty of appending some 
interesting remarks on this topic by Mr. Bidgway, who states that he has 
“recently seen specimens of pure hypochrysea. collected by Mr. TIenshaw 
on the banks of the Mississippi, in Louisana, showing that while in its 
winter migration D. palmarum spreads over the greater part of Florida 
and throughout the West Indies, D. hypochrysea also at the same season 
spreads to the westward through the Gulf States, the winter habitat of the 
two forms within the United States being thus in a measure identical.

Dendrceca palmarum at Sing Sing, New York.. — On April 29, 18S2, 
while collecting at this place, I killed a specimen of the true D. palmarum. 
The bird is unusually yellow beneath, but Mr. Robert Ridgway, who kindly 
compared it, says : “We have several specimens from Wisconsin and 
Illinois which will match it.” It was busily engaged, when captured, in 
catching winged insects in a low swampy thicket.— A. K. Fisher, M. D.,

'Eana Records for Long Island, New York. — Dendroica palmarum. — 
I secured a female at Montauk Point, Sept. 7, 18S5. This antedates by 
over two years the one recorded by Mr. William Dutcher as the first ob- 
tained on Long Island (Auk, Vol. V, April, 18SS, p. 182). My bird was 
with a small flock, and at the time I did not suspect its identity.

24. Dendroica palmarum. Palm Warbler. — During the night of 
the 23d of September, 1887, a great bird wave was rolling southward 
along the Atlantic Coast. Mr. E. J. Udall, first assistant keeper of the 
Fire Island Light, wrote to me that the air was full of birds. Very many 
of the little travellers met with an untimely fate, for on the following 
morning Mr. Udall picked up at the foot of the light house tower, and 
shipped to me, no less than five hundred and ninety-five victims. Twenty- 
five species were included in the number, all of them being land birds, 
very nearly half of which were Wood Warblers (Mniotiltidse). Among 
these I found one female Palm Warbler. This is the first record for Long 
Island of the western form, those included by Mr. GiraudJ and Mr. 
Lawrence§ in their lists being undoubtedly the eastern form, hypochiysea .
