Dendroica palmarum inFSew ifork 'Ciiy. — ^’n individual of the Palm 
Warbler was seen by the writer, September 2, 1896, in West 129th Street, 
New York City, at the base of the prominence upon which stands the 
Cls iremont Hotel. The bird is not only rare in this vicinity but the 
record is an unusually early one. Three of the live recorded instances of 
its occurrence are based on spring captures at Sing Sing (Fisher) and 
Riverdale (Bicknell). The two previous fall records are. Fire Island 
Light, L. I., Sept. 23, 1SS7 (Dutcher) and Red Bank, N. J„ Sept. 28, 1889 
(Oberholser). — Frank M. Chapman, American Museum of Natural 
History , New York City.

Dendroica palmarum. Palm Warbler. — A male example in my 
collection taken, near Holley, May 12, 1888, and other occurrences of this 
Warbler in the county have been reported. Dr. Jonathan Dwight, Jr., of 
New York, to whom I recently sent the specimen, seemed surprised that 
my bird was palmarum, as he felt that D.p. hypockrysea was the form 
which should be found here. However, all examples taken in this and 
adjoining counties of western New York of which I know, seem refera- 
ble to palmarum. Auk., XVI, ApTli, 1899 , 1 93 &

Dendroica palmarum. The Palm Warbler was common in the vicinity 
of Brooklyn in the autumn of 1895. They were noted Sept. 25 to Oct. 7, 
and several specimens were secured on and between these dates. In 
habits, these warblers impressed me as being birds more strictly of the 
open than D. palmarum hypockrysea. For example, I did not see them 
in the woods at any time, while hypockrysea is found in such localities at 
times. I found the Palm Warblers in open pasture fields, in hedges, in 
isolated trees and on fence posts. Mr. William Dutcher mentions in 
4 The Auk’, Vol. VI, p. 182, a specimen received from Fire Island Light. 
Sept. 23, 1887. I do not find any other records of this western species 
on Long Island.
