142 Grundtvig—On the Birds of Shiocton, Wisconsin. 
were frequently seen in June. In 1883 I met none although I 
searched the place with great care. Possibly their breeding 
here in 1882 was exceptional. King appears to think that it 
breeds at Waupaca. He has only twice met with this warbler, 
so common at Shiocton at least in migration. 
144. Helmintliopliila celata (Say), xxx M. of 4. L. 
123-126. E. 185-194. W. 61-63. T. 47-50. B. (measured 
on side) 11. This species has been described as equal in size to 
the foregoing (H. ruficapilla). It will be seen that this does 
not agree with my experience; neither does the statement that 
H. celata is “never ashy about the head.” In 1882 I shot a 
female April 30, in company with Dendroica coronata. It 
might well have been present earlier. After May 1 both 
sexes appeared tolerably common in warbler-flocks, at any rate 
the 2nd and 5th. Not shot after May 6. In 1883 I met with 
only a single one May 1 in a flock of Dendroica coronata. 
This species is not noticed either by King, Cooke or Willard. 
The last has here, as in several places, unfortunately mingled his 
own and my observations. 
145. Helmintliopliila peregrina (Wils.). xxx M. $ (9) L. 
117-123. E. 185-201. W. 63-68. T. 38-43. B. 9-11. $ (4) 
L. 114-119. E. 184-189. W. 59-66. T. 39-41. B. 9. In 1882 
a single male May 19. 21st, both sexes in great numbers, vying 
with Dendroica striata. Later somewhat fewer, but many till 
May 27. Hay after, none. In 1883 two males in a warbler-flock, 
May 22. On the 24th in the morning only very few, in the 
afternoon many; 25th great flock of this species alone; 26th 
more numerous than all the other warblers together; 28th last 
flock. 
146. Compsotlilypis americana (Linn.), xx M. $ (2) L. 110- 
119. E. 174-177. W. 63-64. T. 38-43. $ (4) L. 97-114. 
E. 176. W. 57-59. T. 38-47. B. 9. In 1882 two females shot 
in a large flock of warblers the evening of May 3. Next morn¬ 
ing several of both sexes. Many in the afternoon. Later also 
in flocks of its kind, and, like Mniotilta varia , in company with 
titmice and kingiets. Migration ended May 23. In 1883 a few 
in warbler-flocks May 7. None 9th-llth. Many 14th-17th. 
Most 18th-21st. Migration ended 28th. As a migrant this species
