268 BULLETIN OF THE 



23.t Helminthophaga celata Baird. Orange-crowned Warbler. 

 " Enterprise, loth of February. Rare." — Boardman. 



24.* Dendrceca pinus Baird. Pine Warbler. 

 Abundant. Is much on the ground at this season, as it sometimes is 

 at the north in spring ; on the whole, however, it is much less ter- 

 restrial in its habits than is D. palmarum. In full song in February. 



25.t Dendrceca palmarum Baird. Yellow Redpoll Warbler. 

 Extremely abundant. Probably the most numerous of the winter 

 birds in East Florida, where it is more or less common in all situations. 

 Exceedingly terrestrial in its habits, being generally seen hopping 

 along the ground or fallen timber. At the 1st of April they had con- 

 siderably decreased in numbers, but many were at that time observed 

 at Jacksonville. 



There is some indication that the males and females, and possibly the 

 adult and young-, frequent separate districts at this season. When at 

 Jacksonville in January I saw only males ; on the Upper St. John's, in 

 February and March, only females or immature males ; but these were in 

 excessive abundance, as were also the males at the earlier date around 

 Jacksonville. Is it not probable that the old males either do not go quite 

 so for south as the females and immature males, or that the species was 

 already on its way north ? As is well known, the males in the species of 

 this family, as probably in most other birds, precede the females in their 

 journey northward. 



26. t Dendrceca coronata Gray. Yellow-crowned Warbler. 

 More or less common till the 1st of April, and probably some re- 

 mained still later. During the last half of March they began to moult, 

 but at the end of the month a large part were still in winter dress. 

 The same remarks in respect to moulting apply also to D. palmarum. 



27.* Dendrceca dominica Baird. Yellow-throated Warbler. 

 Seen at Jacksonville in January, but much more abundantly up the 

 river in February and March. March 5th I found them in great 

 numbers in the cypress and maple swamps near Lake Munroe, at 

 which time the spring migration had commenced. 



28.* Dendrceca discolor Baird. Prairie Warbler. 

 Abundant at Jacksonville, April 1st, and occasionally seen at earlier 

 dates. This specie- is undoubtedly resident in Florida the whole year.
