Flycatching Warbler is not abundant” is the note of Giraud.f In the

On April 30, in the same locality ^1 secured a male Hooded Warbler

Arthur H. Howell, Brooklyn, N. Y x 
Sylvania mitrata. — Since my previous record of this bird (Auk, Vol. 
IX, p. 306), 1 have secured another specimen, an immature female, in 
almost the identical spot in Parkville where I shot the first one, which 
was an adult male. The first specimen was killed April 30, 1892, as it 
alighted on the track of a railway which passes through the woods; the 
second one was shot May 15, 1893, as it was feeding in the lower limbs 
of the trees. 
Mr. Dutcher has two specimens in his collection, one of which he has 
recorded (Auk, Vol. VI, p. 139) ; the other was killed at Shelter Island, 
May 16, 1891. 
Mr. J. C. ICnoess, the taxidermist of Riverhead, has one very fine 
specimen in his collection. 
These, with two specimens in the collection ol the Long Island His- 
torical Society (Auk, Vol. X, p. 277) and two in the Lawrence collection, 
make in all nine recorded specimens from Long Island. — Arthur H.
