In a letter to Coues, Wm. A. Cooper writing from Santa Cruz, says of 

 this species: "My first specimen, taken November 3, 1878, was feeding in 

 company with Parns r^iifescens, Virco huttoni, Psalti ipaius minimus, and 

 Regulus, in willows, alders, and sycamores on the bank of a river. No\'em- 

 ber 14 I shot eight specimens, and could readily have obtained thrice the 

 number, as I saw fully a hundred feeding in a similar location. * * * 

 January i, 1879, I shot my last specimen, not having been out since. "s 



109. Dendroica occidentalis (7<?a';/.y.). Hermit Warbler. 



Fiske records taking the eggs of this warbler from a nest in black- 

 berry vines on May 20, 1890. I consider this a mistake in identification. 

 Emerson. — This and the two next preceding species were seen in the oaks 

 feeding as they moved along.
