NOTES ON BIRDS OF KENTUCKY WETMORE 557 



COMPSOTHLYPIS AMERICANA PUSILLA (Wilson) : Northern Parula Warbler 



The only one taken is an adult male shot on Maj- 31 near the northern 

 arm of Reelfoot Lake, 4 miles southwest of Hickman. Tliis bird is 

 dark above with a broad black band extending across the upper breast. 

 In size it is small as the wing measures only 55.6 mm. This specimen 

 is one of those small, richly colored birds of the type that led to the 

 separation of the Mississippi Valley group in this species as the race 

 ramalinae. It seems to me at present too difficult to differentiate except 

 for occasional individuals to allow its separation from pusilla. 



DENDROICA AESTIVA AESTIVA (Gmelin) : Eastern Yellow Warbler 



An adult female was collected 7 miles east of Monticello on June 9. 

 One was taken at Bardstown on April 23, 1877, by C. W. Beckham. 



DENDROICA MAGNOLIA (Wilson) : Magnolia Warbler 



Recorded as follows: Uniontown, May 17; Hickman, May 25; and 

 Log Mountain, west of Middlesboro, September 19, 22, and 25. 



DENDROICA CAERULESCENS CAERULESCENS (Gmelin) : Black-throated Bine Warbler 



An adult male was taken at Waverly on May 11. A female shot 

 on Log Mountain, west of Middlesboro, September 22, is also of the 

 northern race as indicated by its paler dorsal coloration. 



DENDROICA CAERULESCENS CAIRNSI Coues: Caims's Warbler 



An excellent series of four males and three females taken at eleva- 

 tions ranging from 3,800 to 4,100 feet on Black Mountain, near Lynch, 

 June 20 to 24, show that this is the breeding form from this mountain 

 area. There is also an adult male in the collection from 2,000 feet 

 elevation on Log Mountain, 7 miles west of Middlesboro, collected on 

 September 25. This last bird has no black in the back but is marked 

 by the deep hue of the blue.

Records for this migrant species are as follows : Brandenburg, April 

 21 and 22; Burlington, October 11; Madisonville, October 24; South 

 CarroUton, October 24; Canton, October 29; Brownsville, November 

 8 and 12.

 mens were obtained on Log Mountain on September 24 and 28, near 

 Mount Vernon on October 1, and 9 miles northeast of Madisonville on 

 October 24. One was collected at Bardstown on September 16, 1885, 

 by C. W. Beckham.
