Vireo philadelphicus in the Adirondack Region.— On the afternoon of 
May 22, 1SS4, while collecting data for the A. O. U. Committee on Mi- 
gration, I secured a specimen of this rare bird. Dr. A. K. Fisher, of Sing 
Sing, N. Y., who kindly identified it for me, says it is the first recorded 
from the Adirondack Region. At the time of capture the bird was sitting 
on a small bush at the edge of a dense alder swamp ; it was entirely alone, 
and is the only one I have seen.— M. H. Turner, M. D., Hammondville ,

lypis agilts) and on the 1 8th another, and on the same day a specimen of 
the Philadelphia Vireo ( Vi reo thiladelihia 1 : the first one taken here in 
over twenty years’ collecting, and a new record, I believe for eastern Long

an old overgrown field in company with some Red-eyed and White-eyed 
Vireos — a sort of family gathering. — W. W. Worthington, Shelter

Vireo philadelphicus. September 14, 1900, I secured a specimen of this 
rare bird (for Long Island). It was one of the hurrying throng of 
thousands of migrants seen on that morning and was not recognized until 
later in the day when it was made up into a skin. The specimen is now 
in the collection of the Museum of the Brooklyn Institute.
