175 (647). Tennessee Warbler. Helminthophila 

 peregrina {Wils.). 



A rather uncommon migrant, preferring the open woodlands and 

 young woods to fields and orchards. This warbler appears from May 

 15 to 25, and later from August 25 to October i. 



176 (648). Northern Parula Warbler. Comp- 

 sothlypis americana usneae Brewster. 



During May and September, the Parula is common in all the 

 swamps and orchards, and is occasionally seen during the summer. 

 Owing to a scarcity of usnea or Spanish moss in this locality, I am in- 

 clined to think that few remain to breed, although I have seen them as 

 late as June 4. Arrives April 25. Departs October 10. 



177 (650). Cape May Warbler. Dendroica tigrina 

 (GmeL). 



I have never observed this warbler in spring. Mr. Scott, however, 

 has collected a few in fall, but he calls them " rather rare." In spring 

 the birds arrive about May 10, remaining a week. They return about 

 August 25, staying until October i. 



178 (652). Yellow Warbler. Dendroica aestiva 

 (^Gmel.). 



A very abundant summer resident and migrant, especially in the 

 swamps of the Millstone. Arriving with great regularity the last week 

 in April, they almost immediately begin preparations for breeding and 

 the nest is frequently commenced by May 12. On May 30, 1898, I 

 found five nests along the Millstone, three of which contained Cowbird's 

 (Molothrus ater) eggs. By September 25 the last stragglers have re- 

 turned to the south. 



179 (654). Black-throated Blue Warbler. Den- 

 droica casrulescens (Gme/.). 



A common migrant appearing from April 20 to May 25, and again 

 from August 28 to October 8. 



180 (655). Yellow - RUMPED Warbler; Myrtle 

 Warbler. Dendroica coronata (Linn.). 



This species is the first of the warblers to arrive from the south 

 and is common during April, and sometimes as late as May 20, return-
