DENDROICA PETECHIA EOA (Gosse) 



Jamaican golden warbler 



Sytvicola eoa Gosse, Birds Jamaica, 1847, p. 158. (Crab Pond, Jamaica.) 



Four specimens taken on Grand Cayman, April 16 and 17, 1929, 

 by A. K. Fisher and G. B. Pinchot, include one male and three 

 females. 



Peters,^* in a revision of the golden warblers, indicates that the 

 bird of the Cayman Islands is identical with that of Jamaica. 



A common species seen everywhere in the lower growths in the 

 localities visited. 



DENDROICA CAERULESCENS CAERULESCENS (Gmelin) 



Black-throated blue warbler 



Motacilla caertilescens Gmelin, Syst. Nat., vol. 1, pt. 2, 1789, p. 960. (Santo 

 Domingo. ) 



Several of these warblers were seen among migratory flocks found 

 on Swan Island April 19. 



DENDROICA FUSCA (Muller) 



Blackburnian warbler 



Motacilla fusca MIjller, Natursyst. Suppl., 177G, p. 175. ("Guyane.") 



While the senior author was sitting with a companion at the 

 edge of the beach on the east end of Swan Island, a blackburnian 

 warbler tried to alight on the other man's hat. It fluttered about 

 as if hunting for fresh water, hopping along the beach to inspect 

 the little pools of salt water as if in hopes of finding one containing 

 water fit to drink. 



DENDROICA VITELLINA NELSONI Banes 



Swan Island warbler 



Dendroica vitelllna nelsoni Bangs, Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool., vol. 62, January, 

 1919, p. 494. (Swan Island, Caribbean Sea.) 



One male and two females, all in excellent plumage, were taken 

 on Swan Island April 19 and 20, 1929. 



A common species often seen in the mixed flocks of migrating 

 warblers. In action and general appearance it called to mind the 

 prairie warbler.
