'Wood on Notes on Michigan Warblers. 21 



easterly end is a second growth of paw paw trees while be- 

 yond the easterly margin lie low swampy bush lands with open- 

 ings grown to marsh grass. The woods is long and narrow 

 and divided its entire length by a county drain six feet deep 

 and twenty broad at the top. As no other timber of a similar 

 nature exists in the neighborhood this is a favorite resting 

 place and resort for the woodland migrants. 



For the purpose of ascertaining the approximate time of de- 

 parture and relative abundance of the late warblers I devoted 

 what days I could spare to this woods and worked it so thor- 

 oughly that it is doubtful if any species escaped notice. Octo- 

 ber 23 was the last day I searched this woods, but the warblers 

 were gone except the Myrtle and one Northern Yellow-throat. 

 As, in the question of identification, the greater importance is 

 attached to specimens secured a * indicates that one or more 

 were taken on the date to which it is prefixed. The numbers 

 exceeding 25 were estimated, but all less than that were 



counted.
