on October 21, 26, and 28, 1909, a specimen having been shot on the 

 last date. His note-book also contains a record of several seen on 

 November 18, 1912. 



125. Dendroica coronata (Linnaeus). Myrtle Warbler. 



"Myrtle Warbler" Read, Oologist, XXVI, 1909, 224 (I. of Pines); XXVII, 1910, 

 15 (I. of Pines; migr.); XXVIII, 1911, 114 (West McKinley); XXX, 1913, 131 

 (I. of Pines; migr.). 



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



While the above records by Mr. Read may perhaps be open to the 

 same criticism as certain others of his published observations, there 

 can be no question as to the probability of the occurrence of this 

 warbler in the Isle of Pines as a winter resident, since it is well known 

 to be common at that season in the Bahamas and all of the Greater 

 Antilles. Mr. Link, however, did not meet with it during his stay. 



126. Dendroica caerulescens caerulescens (Gmelin). Black- 

 throated Blue Warbler.

 distr.). — Gundlach, Orn. Cubana, 1895, 63 (I. of Pines). — Bangs & Zappey,

 (I. of Pines, January).- — Read, Oologist, XXVI, 1909, 58, and XXVII, 1910, 

 15 (I. of Pines, winter); XXVIII, 1911, 7 (I. of Pines; migr.), 113 (West Mc- 

 Kinley); XXX, 1913, 130 (I. of Pines, winter). — Read, I. of Pines News, VI. 

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



Four specimens: Caleta Grande, Los Indios, and Nueva Gerona. 



Common as a winter resident, frequenting the thicker covert, and 

 usually keeping rather low down. It was found to be particularly 

 numerous on the wooded slopes of the Caballos Mountains, where it 

 was observed as late as the third week in May. No dates for its arrival 

 in the fall migration are available, nor do any such seem to be on record 

 for any of the West Indies thus far. Mr. Link's first specimen was 

 shot November 30. Mr. Read says that while this warbler was very 

 common in his section in December, 1908, none were seen during the 

 winter of 1909-10.
