DENDROICA CAERULESCENS CAERULESCENS (Gmelin) 



Black-throated Blue Warbler 



Found in migration at 3,300 feet elevation in the Cranberry Glades 

 on May 9 ; on Cheat Mountain, 3 miles west of Cheat Bridge, Septem- 

 ber 26; at 3,900 feet on Smoke Camp Mountain, 3 miles east of 

 Thorn wood, September 28; at 4,600 to 4,700 feet on Spruce Knob, 

 September 22 and 24; and at 3,500 feet on Williams River, October 7. 



DENDROICA CAERULESCENS CAIRNS! Coues 



Cairns's Warbler 



On the summit of Cheat Mountain west of Cheat Bridge this 

 warbler was common from June 23 to 26, and one was taken here on 

 September 25. A male was secured on Middle Mountain, 12 miles 

 northeast of Durbin, June 29, and two were obtained at 3,300 feet in 

 the Cranberry Glades, June 15 and 18. On July 6 and 7 birds were 

 collected on Rich Mountain from 6 to 7 miles southwest of Harman. 

 The last recorded in fall was a male secured at 3,500 feet on Williams 

 River on October 7. A. H. Howell obtained one at Dry Creek on 

 July 22, 1909. 



This series indicates that Cairns's warbler is more different from 

 the typical black-throated blue than I had supposed from examination 

 of material from the mountains of western Maryland. Males are 

 distinctly deeper blue in color above, ordinarily with more black in 

 the dorsum, though this does not alwaj^s hold. Females are distinctly 

 darker above both in summer and in fall dress. 



DENDROICA CORONATA CORONATA (Linnaeus) 



Myrtle Warbler 



Obtained in spring 12 miles north of Logan on AprU 22, and at 

 Tyler Creek on April 27. In fall specimens were taken at 2,900 feet 

 on Fiat Top Mountain, near Flat Top on October 19, at 2,100 feet on 

 Cherry Pond Mountain near Arnett on October 22, and near Orgas 

 on October 24. 



The western race of the myrtle warbler, Dendroica coronata hooveri, 

 I consider valid. If this is accepted then the name of the eastern 

 bird is Dendroica coronata coronata. 



DENDROICA VIRENS VIRENS (Gmelin) 



Black-throated Green Warbler 



In spring this common warbler was taken 2 miles east of White 

 Sulphur Springs, April 18; 12 miles north of Logan, April 22; near 

 Dunlow, April 23; near Fourteen, April 28; and near Zela, May 7. 

 Breeding specimens were secured on Cheat Mountain, 3 miles west of
