 Yermivora Perkgrina, Wilson. Tennessee Warbler. 



Some seasons, about the middle of May, this plain bird is met with in great abund- 

 ance. This was particularlj the case May 14th, 15th aiij 16th, 1349, when I could 

 have procured any desired number ; tliey literally thronged on the tops of the bush 

 oaks in an adjoining grove. For the last two years I have not procured a single 

 specimen. 



*Mniotilta Yaria, Yieill. Yaried Creeping Warbler. 

 Common. 



Mniotilta Borealis, Nutt.? 



I have met with specimens that answered to 2f uttall's description, yet I am inclined 

 to consider it a variety of the preceding. 



In order to give some idea of tlic abundance and great variety of the warblers 

 which visit us, I append a list shot in the forenoon of May 5th, 1852, by Rav. A. 0. 

 Barry and myself: 



6 Sylvicola Americana, 1 Sylvicola .Tstiva, 



47 



All, except three, males in unusually fine plumage, the females not having yet 

 .•irrived. 



We could have obtained many irorc of most of the species, had it been desirable.

Troglodytes Ludovicianus, Bonap. Mocking Wren.
