64 BIRDS'-NESTING. 



PAGE 2. 



93. Dendrceca .estiya (Gm.)Bd. — Yellow 



Warbler. 



Nest and 4 eggs (fresh), found May 25, 1878, 

 in a lilac bush in the College grounds, Jones- 

 ville. Me. Bird snared on the nest, which 

 she had begun to build on May 18. See c. 



Eggs (four, slightly addled) taken by John 

 Smith from a nest on the l^ank of Farmer's 

 Creek, two miles west of Jones ville, Me., 

 June 3. He shot the bird, the skin of which 

 I saw. 



Nest and three fresh eggs, taken from the 

 same tree as was 2b, Pro])ably the same 

 pair of birds. This nest was more loosely 

 made than 93a, and the female had begun 

 sittin<^ on three e^s^s. 



Five eggs (a set) bought of James Brown, 

 Portland. Said to have been collected in 

 Ritchie County, West Va., by David Jones. 



Nest from a bush in my garden, begun May 

 30 ; first egg laid June 4 ; began to sit June 

 8 ; young hatched on the 19th. (For in- 

 teresting observations see Journal, p. 29.) 

 Nest peculiar from having stolen bits of lace 

 interwoven in it. 



Five eggs (set) got in exchange fromX. Beedler, 

 Cleveland, Ohio. Identification was assured 

 correct ; but I am now inclined to doubt it. 

 See Journal, p. 45.
