 incubation period of this Warbler, also notes regarding the time of 

 feathering required for the young and the time they remain in the 

 nest. Ivet all our members take notice. 



Abundance of Warblers. — During the spring migration 

 just over, the flights of Warblers were noticeably large and some of 

 the species, usually rare, were abitndant. The Blackbtirnian 

 Warbler was seen in the vicinity of Portland in considerable 

 numbers on several days in sticcession. Canadian Warblers were 

 plentiful, likewi.se the Black-poll, Black-throated Blue and Wilson's 

 Warblers. On the morning of May 14th I saw the Bay-breasted 

 Warbler, in company with a flock of his family, which had arrived 

 that day, W. H. Brownson.
