Mr. P. E. Lowe on Birds collected 
was assured by the owner that it breeds there. It 
does not appear to differ from the form found elsewhere. 
Considering the distant localities in which this bird is 
found breeding, it appears to be a remarkably constant 
species. 
1 have found nests and eggs in Bermuda. The eggs are 
of a beautiful Egyptian blue colour. 
Vireo noveboracensis (Gmelin). 
I shot a single example of this bird, which was the only 
one I saw. The throat and upper breast of this specimen 
are of a deep buff. 
Colours of soft parts :— 
Mandibles silvery white. 
Maocilla dark horn-coloured. 
Tarsi bluish grey. 
Claws whitish. 
I am rather surprised that Mr. Bidgway does not consider 
Vireo noveboracensis bermudianus Bangs a very satisfactory 
subspecies, for I have a series of nine examples that I shot 
in Bermuda, which, compared with birds from Florida shot at 
the same season of the year, are, strikingly and constantly, 
very much duller in coloration, and have not the same rich 
yellow of the under parts. 
Mniotilta varia (Linn.). 
I contented myself with ‘procuring two specimens of this 
Black-and-White Warbler, a male and a female. It was 
fairly abundant on the trees at the edges of the clearings. 
It is met with in the winter throughout all the West-Indian 
islands, and is far more like our Tree-creeper in habits than 
a Warbler. 
Helmitherus vermivorus (Gmelin). 
One adult male. 
This was the only example of this Warbler I saw. It is 
a winter visitor from the Eastern United States.
