i8o THE AMERICAN MUSEUM JOURNAL 'S'ork City. It is based on the capture of a male in Kings County, L. I. (Dutcher, Auk, X, 1893, P- ^77)- *Black-throated Green Warbler (Dciuiroica vircns). In the immediate vicinity of New York City this bird is found chiefly as a migrant, arriving from the south late in April and returning about the middle of August. It is known to breed at Highland Falls, N. Y. (Mearns), Bridgeport, Conn. (Averill), Millers Place, L. I. (Butcher, MS), and at Demarest, N. J., where on June 5, IC/04. B. S. Bowdish found a nest built in a skunk cabbage about fourteen inches from the ground (Auk, XXIII, 1906, p. 17). ♦Pine Warbler (Deiidroica z'igorsi). This Warbler is of local distribution in this vicinity. In northern New Jersey, the Lower Hudson Valley and south- ern Connecticut it occurs only as a rare niigrant, but on certain parts of Long Island, where the scrub pines afford it congenial surroundings, it is not uncom- mon and breeds. Palm W^arbler (Deiidroica palmarum). This species is of rather rare but regular occurrence here. One specimen was taken at Sing Sing, N. Y., April 29, 1882 (Fisher, Bull. N. O. C, VII, 1882, p. 249), two at Riverdale, N. Y.. in the spring of 1877 (Bicknell. Bull. N. O. C, V. 1880, p. 182), and one struck the Fire Island Lighthouse, September 23, 1887 (Butcher, Auk, V, 1888, p. 1S2). Braislin (Auk, XIX, 1902, p. 149) records it as "common" near Brooklyn between September 25 and October 7, 1895, and Miller (Bird-Lore, V, 1903, p. 199) states that it was rather common near Plainfield, N. J., between Septem- ber 22 and October 4, 1903. *Yellow Palm Warbler ; Yellow Redpoll (Deiidroica palinaniiii liyf^ocliry- sca). A common migrant arriving from the south about April 10, and returning late in September and in October. *Prairie Warbler (Deiidroica discolor). The distribution of the Prairie Warbler in this vicinity is much like that of the Pine Warbler. It is rare in northern New Jersey and the Lower Hudson Valley, where however^ it has been found breeding once (Highland Falls. Mearns), but is not uncommon on some parts of Long Island. At Bridgeport, Conn., it is a, common migrant and may breed (Averill). (See group, third floor).
