On September 15, 1S83, there flew into a store in this city a Connecticut 
Warbler, which was, as far as I then knew, the first Canadian specimen. 
In December of the same year, a consultation with Mr. Mclwraith disclosed 
the fact that he had some specimens of the same species, which had never 
been satisfactorily separated from the Mourning Warbler. These have 
been in his possession for years. Again in May, 1884, attracted by a new 
note, after spending some time in a swampy thicket, I succeeded in captur- 
ing another of this species near London; and since knowing their note 
have found them tolerably common, but quite shy here as swamp birds, 
and.quite common at Point Pelee, for a few days in June, as ground feeders 
in dry places, where, on the above trip, several were procured. — W. E.

263. Geothlypis agilis. Connecticut Warbler. — Regular migrant,, 
not common, May 23 to 30, and August 26 to September 12. This was 
considered one of our rarest warblers till about 1896 when Mr. J. Hughes 
Samuel found them not uncommon in May at Island Park.
