D. Dendrceca striata. Black-poll AYarbler. One of 

 the most common warblers and one of the earliest of the 

 small birds. Numbers were seen on the prairies, several 

 miles from the woods, running along the log fences. 



24. De^-uroeca virens. Black-throated Green Warbler. 

 Common. 



25. Dexdrceca pixus. Pine-creeping Warbler. Saw 

 one or two specimens. 



26. Dendrceca palmarum. Eed-poll Warbler. Very 

 common 



27. Dendrceca palmarum hypochrysea. Yellow Red- 

 poll Warbler. Common. Found in company with the 

 preceding and with the Black-poll {D. striata) and Yellow- 

 rumped Warblers [D. coronata). 



28. SiURUS ATJRiCAPiLLUS. Golden-crowned Thrush. 

 Very abundant. One of the first birds to arrive and for a 

 day or two greatly outnumbering the other small birds. 



29. SiURUS x^vius. Small-billed Water Thrush. Very 

 common along the banks of the lakes and creeks. 



30. Geothlypis triciias. Marjdand Yellow-throat. 

 Common in the thick bushes in the neighborhood of swam- 

 py localities. 



31. Myiodioctes pusillus. Black-capped Yellow War- 

 bler. Very abundant especially around sloughs and low 

 bushes along the edges of streams. 



32. Setophaga rijticilla. American Redstart. Very 

 abundant. 



[The above notes on the warblers are very in- 

 complete as most of the species were migrating and for 

 several days when they were the most abundant I was una- 

 ble to search for them. For three or four days there were 

 hundreds of Warblers on the way north and no doubt with 

 careful seaching many more species could have been found.]
