272. Dendroica occidentalis (Towns.) 



Hermit Warbler. — Mr. Belding mentions it as a rare 

 migrant, having observed three at Tia Juana May 2. A 

 single bird noted at San Quintin in the fall by Mr. Anthony 

 are the only records. 



273. Seiurus noveboracensis notabilis (Giinu.) 



Grixnell's Water Thrush. — Two specimens (females) 

 Avere obtained at La Paz by Mr. Belding, and one at Todos 

 Santos. 



274. Geothlypis macgillivrayi (Aud.) 



Macgillivray' s Warbler. — Mr. Belding met with this 

 species in mountain caiions of the Cape region where it was 

 rare. At Tia Juana he says it occurs as a migrant. In 

 March, 1888, I shot a female at Comondu and did not 

 again see any. 



275. Geothlypis trichas occidentalis Brewst. 



Western Yellow-throat. — Common at the Cape region 

 according to Mr. Belding. In swamps along the northwest 

 coast Mr. Anthony found it common, and saw none above 

 1,000 feet elevation. I shot one on Santa Margarita Island, 

 the only place where it was met with. 



276. Geothlypis beldingi Ridgw. 



Belding's Yellow-throat. — ' 'Common in the few suitable 

 localities around San Jose, Miraflores and canons of tho 

 Miraflores and Santiago Peaks. At Agua Caliente a pair 

 was noticed feeding their young just out of the nest. May 7. 

 The only note traced to these species was a loud chip. I 

 listened long, when in the neighborhood of one or more of 

 these birds, for the familiar song of the Maryland yellow- 

 throat {G. trichas), but failed to hear it." (Belding. Proc. 

 U. S. Nat. Mus., Vol. Y., p. 546). In March, 1888, I first 

 met with this species at Comondu, and in April, 1889, 1 found 

 them apparently as common and obtained eleven eggs from 

 four of the five nests discovered. [See Descriptions of the
