DENDRtECID.E — THE WARBLERS — DEXDROICA. 93 



This seems to be a very rare species, and I liave not seen tliem in tlie 

 soutliern part ut t'alifuruia, tliuugh they probably migrate into Mexico. 

 One was obtained at I'etalunia, liy Mr. E. .Samuels, on April 1, 1856. 

 They frequent lofty evergreens. 



The pair of l)ii-ds from which the sjiecies was described, was obtained by 

 Mr. Towusend near Fort A'ancouver, ^May 28, 1835. They were flitting 

 among the pine trees in the depth of a forest, actively engaged in searching 

 for insects, and hanging frequently from the twigs like titmice. Their note, 

 uttered at distant intervals, resembled \ery much that of the black-throated 

 blue Avarbler {D. caTulesccns).

Hah. Te.xas to Guatemala. 



This species, originally described from Guatemala, has lately been taken 

 near San Antonio, Texas, and will doubtless be found in New Mexico and 

 Arizona. Nothing is known of its habits, which, however, in all proba- 

 bilty, resemble those of the Black-thr(jated green and other familiar Eastern 

 .species. The specimen described above is the ty])e lielonging to Mr. Salvin, 

 of Loudon ; those from Texas were obtained by the late Dr. Heermanu.
