[Dendroica fusca (Muller). Blackburnian Warbler. 



(?) "Blackburnian Warbler" Read, Forest and Stream, LXXIII, 1909, 452 (I. of 



Pines, December 8).— Read, Oologist, XXVI. 1909, 58 (I. of Pines); XXVIII, 



1911, 113 (West McKinley); XXX, 1913, 131 (I. of Pines, December 8). — 



Read, I. of Pines News, VI, Feb. 14, 1914 (I. of Pines). 

 (?) Dendroica blackburnice Read, Oologist, XXVIII, 1911, 12 (I. of Pines). 



In view of the fact that the Blackburnian Warbler is unknown in the West 

 Indies proper, and has occurred but twice as an accidental visitor during migration 

 in the Bahamas, it is scarcely necessary to discuss the reasons for treating Mr. 

 Read's record of a bird seen in December as doubtful. 



Dendroica cerulea (Wilson). Cerule.\n Warbler. 



(?) "Cerulean Warbler" Read, Forest and Stream, LXXIII, 1909, 452 (I. of Pines, 



February). — Read, Oologist, XXVI, 1909, 75 (I. of Pines); XXVIII, 1911, 113 



(West McKinley); XXX, 1913, 131 (I. of Pines, February 11). — Re.\d, I. of 



Pines News, VI, Feb. 14, 1914 (I. of Pines). 

 (?) Dendroica carulea Read, Oologist, XXVIII, 191 1, 12 (I. of Pines). 



This is another species of warbler which habitually avoids the West Indian 

 islands in migration, the few records we have from there falling within the category 

 of accidental occurrences. Mr. Read says that he secured a specimen on February 

 II, 1909, but as it is not now extant it seems better to leave the record for the 

 present in the doubtful column.]

Sylvia virens Poey, Mem. Hist. Nat. Cuba, 1854, 426 (Nueva Gerona, fide Gund-

"Black-throated Green Warbler" Read, Oologist, XXVI, 1909, 224 (I. of Pines); 

 XXVII, 1910, 15 (I. of Pines, October); XXVIII, 1911, 114 (West McKinley, 

 October); XXX, 1913, 131 (I. of Pines, October). — Read, I. of Pines News, VI, 

 Feb. 14, 1914, (I. of Pines). 



Although there are only a few scattering records for this warbler 

 in the West Indies, its place on the list of Isle of Pines birds is appar- 

 ently secure. Poey refers to it as having been observed by Gundlach 

 near Nueva Gerona, and Gundlach himself says that his first specimen 

 of the species was taken in the island in January, 1855 {lege 1854). 

 This record, which has been quoted by other authors, was apparently 

 the only basis for attributing the present species to the island until 

 recently, when Mr. Read has reported its occurrence at West McKinley
