ing during September, October and part of November. Frequently, 

 however, one is seen during the winter months. (See W. E. D. Scott in 

 BuU. Nutt. Om. Club, Vol. IV, No. 2, p. 81, April, 1879.) The Myrtle 

 Warbler seems to prefer roadsides and hedges to thick woods or 

 swampy regions. 



181 (657). Magnolia Warbler. Dendroica maculosa 



{Gmcl.'). 



A migrant frequently seen during May and again in fall, from 

 August 15, to October 8. 



182 (659). Chestnut-sided Warbler. Dendroica 

 pensylvanica (Linn.). 



A common migrant and probably a rare summer resident. I once 

 saw a pair, June 12, in a briar patch on Mount Lucas, where they may 

 have bred, but there are no direct records. The birds are here in the 

 spring from May i to 30, and in the fall from August 12 to September 16. 



183 (660). Bay-breasted Warbler. Dendroica cas- 

 tanea {Wils.). 



Generally this species is a rather rare migrant, especially in spring. 

 During some seasons, however, it becomes unusually common, as was 

 the case in 1875, especially in the early fall when many were collected 

 for the University. I took three individuals in September 1898. The 

 birds are here from May 10 to May 22, and again from August 20 to 

 October i. 



184 (661). Black-poll Warbler. Dendroica striata 

 {For St.). 



An abundant migrant, passing northward late in May and early in 

 June, and returning in great numbers during the latter part of Septem- 

 ber, when they are abundant everywhere, particularly in the elm trees 

 on the University Campus. 



185(662). Blackburnian Warbler. Dendroica black- 

 burnise {GmeL). 



A tolerably common migrant from May 8 to May 22, and again 

 from August 20 to October 6.
