175. DENDROICA STRIATA (J. R. Forster). 

 Black-poll Warbler. 



"One individual of this species, the first and only one, 

 was observed eight miles south of Greensboro, May 5, 

 1889." (1891c). 



The Doctor collected the following specimen subse- 

 quently to the publication of this note. 



No. 1047. Male. Greensboro. April 23, 1893. W. C. Avery. 



176. DENDROICA FUSCA (Muller). 

 Blackburnian Warbler. 



The following specimen, the only one of the species 

 taken by the Doctor, elicited no further note from him 

 than the bare record in his catalogue. 



No. 1054. Female. Greensboro. May 3, 1893. W. C. Avery. 



177. DENDROICA DOMINICA DOMINICA (Linn^us). 

 Yellow-throated Warbler. 



It is interesting to know that specimen No. 1 of Dr. 

 Avery's second series was an adult male of this species 

 taken July 6, 1886, near Greensboro. He writes in his 

 catalogue : 



"This bird is quite common in this locality, though 

 captured by me today for the first time. I saw several 

 other individuals at the time of shooting this specimen. 

 They were flitting about in the pine tree with some pine 

 warblers. The yellow-throated warbler must breed here 

 though I have never found the nest." 



On the reverse side of label No. 1 was written : "Con- 

 tents of stomach small beetles and Lepidoptera." 



A specimen taken June 25, 1888, was presented to Dr. 

 A. K. Fisher of Washington, D. C. 



"Common. Summer resident. Breeds. A nest of this 

 warbler was found by me last spring on May 4. The nest 

 was in a sweet gum tree (Liquidambar styraciflua) , thir- 

 ty-five feet from the ground, and was entirely concealed 

 in a bunch of gray moss (Tillandsia usneoides) . The old 

 bird was seen feeding her young, three in number. The 

 nest contained, besides the young birds, one addled egg." 

 < 1891c).
