284 SYNONYMY OF DENDRCECA BLACKBURNI^ 



to its geographical dispersion at large. It is a hardy bird, capa- 

 ble of euduriug the rigors of winter almost everywhere in the 

 United States; nevertheless, numbers press on to the south, 

 reaching Central America along with the tenderest and most 

 susceptible species of the family, while others are taking the 

 weather as it comes in the Middle States, and even portions of 

 New England. The breeding range is no less curious. Ordina- 

 rily, no Myrtle-birds nestle anywhere in the United States south 

 of Northern New England ; yet some at least of those that 

 winter in the West Indies do not migrate at the vernal crisis of 

 the year, but rear their young on the spot, as Mr. March has 

 recorded from Jamaica, in the paper above cited. 



For accounts of the general habits of this species, reference 

 may be made to other treatises, as the necessary limits of the 

 l)resent work forbid me to be as full as I should like to be in 

 the cases of those species which are scarcely entitled to any 

 place in this volume.
