DENDROICA CAERULESCENS CAERULESCENS (Gmelin) : Black-throated Bine Warbler 



Migrant examples of the northern subspecies were collected as 

 follows : Roseboro and Clinton, May 4 ; Madison, September 21 ; and 

 Statesville, October 4. 



DENDROICA CAERULESCENS CAIRNSI Cones: Cairns's Warbler 



It is of especial interest to record a male of this race taken in 

 migration 3 miles southwest of Clinton, on May 1. In the mountain 

 breeding grounds specimens were collected as follows: 3,500 to 3,700 

 feet elevation 12 miles east of Hayesville, June 27 and 29; 4,500 to 

 6,200 feet on Rocky Ridge, 12 miles west of Franklin, June 21 and 

 22, and 5,000 feet on Rocky Bald, 13 miles west of the same town, 

 June 23; 5,500 feet on Elk Knob, 7 miles north of Boone, July 10; 

 and 3,800 to 4,300 on Bluff Mountain 4 miles west of West Jefferson, 

 July 15. 



DENDROICA CORONATA CORONATA (Linnaeus) : Myrtle Warbler 



In spring migrants were collected at South Mills, April 14 and 

 15; Roseboro, May 2; and Clinton, May 3. In the fall migration 

 three were recorded and one was taken on the Catawba River, 10 

 miles southwest of Statesville, on October 5. Others were secured 

 at Stumpy Point, October 23; Bethel, November 2; and Davis, 

 November 18. 



DENDROICA VIRENS VIRENS (Gmelin) : Black-throated Green Warbler 



An adult male was taken 9 miles north of Southport on May 18. 

 This bird in larger bill resembles those of the north and must be 

 considered a belated migrant. 



DENDROICA VIRENS WAYNEI Bangs: Wayne's Warbler 



On May 4 the first of these birds was taken 3 miles west of Rose- 

 boro, a male marked by small bill and slightly darker dorsal colora- 

 tion. Male and female were taken 6 and 9 miles north of Southport 

 on May 17 and 19. Apparently this race extends across to the 

 mountains in North Carolina, as a male taken at 4,300 feet on Bluff 

 Mountain, 4 miles west of West Jefferson, on July 15, 1939, agrees 

 with the birds from the coastal area in the characters indicated. 



DENDROICA FUSCA (Miiller) : Blackbumian Warbler 



This interesting bird was taken in the breeding season at 5,000 

 feet on Rocky Bald, 13 miles west of Franklin, on June 23, at 4,100 

 feet on Standing Indian Mountain, 15 miles east of Hayesville, on
