collection of the Lynn NaturM History Society.As there is no other record of this bird for the State, and as I was unable to find this specimen in a recent examination of the battered remains of this collection, I have .omittedthe bird from the list."This Kentucky Warbler at Wellesley Hills would seem, therefore, to be the first authentic record of the species within the State.In 'A Review of the Birds of Connecticut' by Mr. C. Hart Merriam, 1877, two records of Kentucky Warbler within that State are given, namely: "Mr.Erwin I. Shores obtained a male of this species at Suffield, Conn., Aug. 16, 1876, thus adding another bird, not only to the Avifauna of Comhecticut, but also to New England"; and "I learn from Mr. J.G. Ely of Lyme, Conn., that he has shot one Kentucky Warbler."Dr. Jonathan Dwight, Jr., in 'The Auk,' Vol.XX, October, 1903, under the heading, 'Some New Records for Nova Scotia,' based on a small lot of bird skins .sent to him from Sable Island by Mr. Jam McL.Boutcher, rumfishes this note on Kentucky Warbler: "A young male taken September 1, 1902, is in first winter plumage as determined by softening the skin and examining the bones.The nearest point at which the species regularly breeds is New Jersey."--HORACEW.
