enumerates the examples previously known, as follows: 
““Mr. Adolphe B. Covert, of Ann Arbor, Michigan, wriies me that on May 16 last he 
shot a female of this much desired warbler, his second capture of the species. This re- 
cent specimen I make to be the ninth known te science, viz: 
“1. Male, caught on a vessel at sea off Abaco, Bahamas, by Dr. Samuel Cabot, of 
Boston, the second week in October, 1841. Not identified until several years after the 
type specimen was described. 
“2. Male taken by Dr. J. P. Kirtland near Cleveland, Ohio, May 13, 1851. Type of 
the species. 
“3. Male obtained by R. K. Winslow near Cleveland, Obio, in June (May?), 1860. 
“‘4, Male shot by Charles Dury at Cincinnati, Obio, the first week in May, 172. 
‘5. Female, collected by A. B. Covert, at Ann Arbor, Michigan, May 15, 1875. 
“6 and 7. Male and female, taken by Messis. William and John Hall, at Rockport, 
Cuyahoga county, Ohio, May, 1878. 
“8. Female, collected by Charles R. Corey, on Andros Is)Jand, Bahamas, January 9, 
1879. 
“9. Mr. Covert’s specimen above described. 
‘Three or four others, I believe, have been noted, but were not secured. This bird 
and Helminthophoga lewcobronchialis have about an even record.” Wee
