Associate Curator of Ornitholoev and Mammalogy. American Museum of Natural History 



With the cooperation of other Ornithologists 



JVith 24 full-page, colored plates, by Louis Jgassiz Fuertes and 



Bruce Horsfall, illustrating the male, female and young 



plumages of every species, and eight full-page 



plates of nests and eggs. 



THE INTRODUCTION 



treats of the General Characters, Plumages, Distribu- 

 tion, Migration, Songs, Nesting Habits, Food and 

 Mortality of Warblers. 



THE BIOGRAPHIES 



average about five pages for each species, and contain 

 sections on distinguishing characters, plumages, range, 

 migration, haunts and general habits, song, nesting- 

 site, nest, eggs, nesting dates, together with references 

 to pertinent literature. 



The contribution by many ornithologists through- 

 out the country of much before unpublished material, 

 and the inclusion of all the more important informa- 

 tion relating to North American Warblers which 

 has heretofore appeared, make this book a compre- 

 hensive monograph, useful alike for identification 

 and for the study of habits.
