35. Dendroeca coerulescens, Baird. — Black-throated 

 Blue Warbler. Rare during the migrations. Have taken 

 it from May 15th to 24th. I have always found it in mixed

 plentiful during the season of 18G9."*

 Warbler, " Myrtle-Bird." Very abundant during the migra-

 from April 18th until the 1st of June. Appears about the 

 last week of September in great numbers, in straggling, de-

 remain during the winter, at which time I have met with 

 it in great numbers in Florida.

 where.
