One specimen, Nueva Gerona. 



The Oven-bird is a winter resident in the Isle of Pines, but ap- 

 parently is not common. Mr. Link saw a few at the foot of the Ca- 

 ballos Mountains, securing a single specimen on February 27. Mr. 

 Read has noted it on various occasions at this season, and it is known 

 as a regular and common winter resident throughout the Greater 

 Antilles.

Nine specimens: Los Indios, Nueva Gerona, and Hato. 



This warbler is possibly the most abundant of all those which visit 

 the Isle of Pines during the winter months. It occurs in scattered 

 flocks, frequenting the more open situations, groves of bottle-palms 

 and margins of thickets, keeping on or near the ground. Mr. Read 

 has noted it as early as September 25, and Mr. Link's specimens were 

 all shot between September 30 and April 17, dates which correspond 

 very well with the records of the migration of the species from nearby 

 regions, as given by Prof. Cooke. A young bird taken February 20 

 shows no sign of moult, although sundry specimens from other sections
