The Blne-wiuj?ed Yellow Warbler was found by Mr. Ridgway breed- 

 ing at Mount Carmel, Illinois, wliere a nest containing five eggs was 

 discovered May 8, 186G, on the ground in a bunch of shrubbery, in the 

 corner of a field. The nest was built chiefly of fibrous strips, most of 

 them broad and coarse, and lined with fine grass stems variously inter- 

 laced. The eggs, of the usual shape, aud measuring about ().G3 by 0.48, 

 are white, sparsely sprinkled, chiefly at the great end, with blackisli 

 dots, and a few others of lighter dirty brownish.
