Il6 MEMOIRS OF THE NUTTALL ORNITHOLOGICAL CLUB 



228. Dendroica discolor (Vieillot). 

 Prairie Warbler. 



The Prairie Warbler is common from late August or September to 

 April. It is found in cultivated lands and in wild and tangled thickets as 

 well. 



229. Dendroica striata (Forster). 

 Blackpoll Warbler. 



Gundlach often collected Blackpoll Warblers on their northward 

 and southward migrations, as they passed Cuba in November and April. 

 They are then neither common nor conspicuous. 



230. Dendroica dominica dominica (Linne). 

 Yellow-throated Warbler. 



In spite of Scott's records of alhilora from Jamaica my series and all 

 the Cuban birds seem to be true dominica — if the races are at all separable, 

 which is doubtful. 



The Yellow-throated Warbler was the first bird which Gundlach 

 saw after setting foot in Cuba. This was in 1839, in the park in front 

 of Tacon Theatre, now the National Theatre. There is small chance that 

 the experience would be repeated there today. They arrive as early as 

 July, and by August first there are great crowds about; then most pass on, 

 and later return, to go northward in early spring. I have found a few in 

 both February and March.
