Black-and-White Warbler was a familiar sound in the tim- 

 ber along the base of the hills at the station, and was 

 sometimes heard nearer the river as well. There were 

 several pairs of the warblers in the vicinity of the Reserve 

 station and all of them probably nested along the base of 

 the hills. 



On June 4, 1912, I was working on the hillside just back 

 of the Reserve station when I heard one of these warblers 

 singing nearby. I looked around for the bird in the hopes 

 of discovering it in some place which might shelter its nest 

 for I had heard the warbler in the same part of the grove 

 for a number of mornings previously. I did not see the 

 bird this time but my eyes fell on a clump of small trees 

 farther up the slope where the grassy hillside was shaded 

 and where it seemed probable that a search for a nest 

 would be rewarded. I started up the hill and entered the 

 small group of trees, and had barely passed through it 

 when I found myself looking into the entrance of a little 

 hollow in the grass, through which I could see the black 

 and white striped head and watchful eyes of the sitting 

 'bird. At my nearer approach she flew from the tvift of 

 grass, disclosing a nest built of grasses and lined loosely 

 with horse-hair, and placed squarely on the ground in the 

 shelter of a little bank. The nest contained five eggs. 



115. Verniivora cclata (Say) — Orange-crowned Warbler. 



One or two Orange-crowned Warblers were noted in the 

 thickets of the Loup river on May 15, August 28 and 30, 

 and September 6, 1912. None were seen the preceding 

 year. 



116. Verniivora pcregriiia (Wilson) — Tennessee Warbler. 



During the spring migration in 1912, Tennessee Warb- 

 lers were not uncommon in the trees at the base of the 

 hills and along the river, where I noted them from my 

 arrival on May 15, until May 25. No individuals were 

 noted during the fall migration up to the time of my de- 

 parture on September 10, although they may have come 

 in later. 



117. Comsothlypis amcricana nsncae Brewster — Northern 



Parula Warbler. 



On September 7, 1912, when I was exploring the shrub- 

 bery along the river in a place where the growth was so
