VERMIVORA PEREGRINA (Wilson) : Tennessee Warbler 



Sylvia peregrina Wilson, American ornithology, vol. 3, 1811, p. 83, pi. 25, fig. 2 

 (banks of the Cumberland River, Tenn.). 



This northern migrant was common, my first specimen being one 

 shot from a little flock working rapidly through the treetops at 

 7,800 feet elevation on Volcan cle Agua above Santa Maria de Jesus. 

 I saw one near Dueiias on November 3, and on November 8 shot one 

 and saw others at 3,200 feet elevation below Alotenango. At Pana- 

 jacliel these warblers were abundant from November 11 to 15, three 

 being taken on November 11 and 12. They fed at ripened fruits, 

 such as the jocote, which they perforated for the juices as they do 

 grapes in the north, and also searched the flowei-s of trees. One 

 that I shot had the throat and forehead yellow with pollen. 



VERMIVORA RUFICAPILLA RUFICAPILLA (Wilson) : Nashville Warbler 



Sylvia ruficapilla Wsxson, American ornithology, vol. 3, 1811, p. 120, pi. 27, 

 fig. 3 (near Nashville, Tenn.) 



An immature male was taken in a thicket of dense, heavy growth 

 near Panajachel, November 14. 



VERMIVORA SUPERCILIOSA SUPERCILIOSA (Hartlaub) 



Conirostrnm superciUosiim Hartlaub, Rev, Zool., vol. 7, 1844, p. 215 (Guate- 

 mala). 



Specimens of this handsome warbler were taken at 6,500 feet eleva- 

 tion on Volcan de Acatenango above Dueiias on November 1, near 

 Sierra Santa Elena on November 18 and 20, and at 10,200 feet near 

 Desconsuelo on November 24. The birds were found in deciduous 

 trees, sometimes where such growth was mixed with pine, often in 

 company with little flocks of other warblers. They had the active 

 habits of their near relatives. 



DENDROICA MAGNOLIA (Wilson) : Magnolia Warbler 



Sylvia magnolia Wilson, American ornithology, vol. 3, 1811, p. 63, pi. 23, fig. 2 

 (Fort Adams, Miss.). 



Below Alotenango I shot one at 3,400 feet on November 5 and one at 

 3,200 feet on November 29. 



DENDROICA NIGRESCENS (Townsend) : Black-throated Gray Warbler 



Sylvia nigrescens Townsend, Journ. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia, vol. 7, Nov. 21, 

 1837, p. 191 (Fort William, Portland, Oreg.). 



On November 1 I had a distinct view of a black-throated gray 

 warbler in a hedge near Dueiias but did not have opportunity to col- 

 lect it. I had left my car beside the road and climbed a little bank to
