General Notes. 
The Yellow-breasted Chat in Maine.-In the autumn of 1893, -she 
believes it was during the month of September, — Mrs. William Senter, of 
Portland, found upon her lawn the mangled remains of a small bird It 
had apparently been mouthed by a cat. Mrs. Senter cut off its head, legs, 
wings and tail, and preserved them. A few days ago, the relics’ were’ 
shown me. They were those of a Yellow-breasted Chat ( Icteria virens ) 
in full autumn plumage. Thus is a bird added to the Maine list— 
Nathan Clifford Brown, Portland, Maine.
