NOTES OX BIRDS OF KENTUCKY WETMORE 561 



near Waverly (U. S. N. M. No. 337821) has a white mark on the 

 posterior part of the superciliary region and extensive yellow mark- 

 ings on the scapulars and greater wing coverts. Curiously enough, I 

 saw a yellow-breasted chat with similar markings, but with the 

 white on the head much more extensive, several times about our camp 

 at Tres Zapotes, southern Veracruz, Mexico, in March and early in 

 April 1939. 



WILSONIA CITRINA (Boddaert) : Hooded Warbler 



The first one of the season was seen at Kock Haven, Meade County, 

 April 26. Specimens were taken at Hickman on May 30, at 3,800 

 feet elevation on Black Mountain, near Lynch, on June 22, and on 

 Log Mountain, near Middlesboro, on September 21 and 22. 



WILSONIA PUSILLA PUSILLA (Wilson) : Wilson's Warbler 



An adult male taken on May 16 comes from 3 miles east of 

 Waverly, in LTnion County. 



WILSONIA CANADENSIS (Linnaeus) : Canada Warbler 



On the summit of Black Mountain, near Lynch, the Canada warbler 

 was fairly common. The three specimens obtained were taken at 3,800 

 and 3,900 feet elevation on June 20, 23, and 24. The last mentioned is a 

 juvenile bird barely grown. 



SETOPHAGA RUTICILLA (Linnaeus) : Redstart 



Specimens were taken at the following places : Hickman, May 20 and 

 27; Waverly, May 6 and 9; Uniontown, May 13; Monticello, June 9; 

 Bardstown, April 24, 1877 (collected by C. W. Beckham) ; Mount 

 Vernon, October 1 ; Log Mountain, near Middlesboro, September 23 ; 

 4,100 feet elevation on Black Mountain, near Lynch, June 21; and 

 Quincy, July 11. 



Oberholser ^- has recognized a western race of the redstart, using for 

 it the name trlcolora of Miiller and stating that "this western race 

 differs from the eastern form in smaller size, smaller orange or yellow 

 wing-spot ; in the female also in paler, more grayish, less conspicuously 

 olivaceous, upper surface." 



To check this I have examined a large series of redstarts from the 

 entire breeding range of the species, and so far as I can determine there 

 are no definite characters that will allow the segregation of two sub- 

 species. Measurements of males taken from birds on or near their 

 breeding grounds from east and west are as follows (averages given 

 in parentheses) :
