The committee on " Food Habits " desires information upon the gen- 

 eral food habits of the Warblers — as to whether the species glean on the 

 ground, in the low brush, in the middle branches of the trees, in the tree- 

 tops, or in the air. Do any or all species seem to have a preference for 

 certain places, or bushes, or trees for freeding ? How many hours a day 

 do they feed ? 



The committeee also desires special information relating to contents of 

 stomachs, what kind of insects taken as food ; kind of vegetable food, if 

 any. Also the sort of food required by nestlings, and amount, if possible. 

 If parent's food varies during nesting time, or at different seasons. How 

 long the young are fed by the parents. Also any thing not given above 

 that you may have.

A few errors crept into the Warbler Report, which I am glad to correct 

 at this time. In the records from Berwyn, Penn., by Frank L. Burns, 

 the record of an "immature female Orange-crowned Warbler," should 

 have been changed to " immature female Tennessee Warbler." But Mr. 

 Burns informs me that he has since taken a fine male adult Orange-crown, 

 which holds the first county record. The Cerulean Warbler was 

 taken at Newtown, Delaware Co., instead of Berwyn, Chester Co 



Of the records from Portland, Conn., by Mr. John H. Sage, note these 

 corrections. Helminthophila chrysoptera, "not uncommon S. R.," in- 

 stead of "not common S. R." Dendroica virens, "common T. V." Den- 

 droica discolor, "not uncommon S. R.," instead of "not common S. R." 

 Seiurus motacilla, "not common S. R.," instead of " not common T. V."
