Capture of the Connecticut Warbler (Oporornis agilis ) in 
Spring at New Haven, Conn. — On May 30, 1879, 1 secured a female 
of this species, while collecting in a small tract of low second growth, not. 
far from the city. They are very rarely taken in spring in this State, and 
are rare at any time. — George Woolsf.y, New Haven, Conn.

The Connecticut Warbler. ( Oporornis agilis ) — a Correction. 
In a small collection of birds kindly sent to me for examination, by Mr. 
George Woolsev, is the specimen recorded as Oporornis agilis in Vol. V. 
p. 1 17, of this Bulletin. The specimen proves to be a female Geothlypis 
Philadelphia. The bird was taken May 12, 1880, and the correction of 
the error becomes the more important from this fact, since it leaves Opo- 
rornis agilis without a spring record for southern New England. — J. A. 
Allen, Cambridge, Mass. Bull. N. 0.0. Q, April, 1S81, P, //V 
The Connecticut Warbler in Conn. 
BY IT. W. FLINT, NEW HAVEN, CONN. 
The past season (fall 1887) has been excep- 
tionally productive, having furnished me with 
a species of Warbler “new” to iny collection, 
viz : Oporornis agilis. I have secured two 
specimens this fall and a friend of mine shot a 
fine male while we were collecting on the after- 
noon of Sept. 2G. Also had the pleasure of 
taking on Sept. ‘24th an adult male Tennessee 
Warbler. Have found this species but once 
before (May 22nd, 1878) and my experience of 
about fifteen years active collecting would jus- 
tify the remark, “very rare” as applied to this 
bird. 
With the exception of the Cape May, I have 
now collected all the Warblers that can be said 
to occur regularly in Connecticut, including 
two fine specimens of Hel. Leucobronchialis 
taken several years ago, and hope to add the 
missing one ere long. ,
