These were all shot in low brush, on April 24 and May 7 respectively, 

 the latter a later date than is recorded by Gundlach for Cuba. The 

 first ones taken were in very poor condition, and one of these shows a 

 few yellowish feathers below, evidently left over from a previous 

 plumage. Mr. Read has seen birds in the fall migration which he 

 has identified as belonging to the present species.

Twelve specimens; Los Indios. 



A winter resident, fairly common, having been first recorded by 

 Poey many years ago, and later by Messrs. Zappey, Read, and Link. 

 The latter observer did not notice it, however, except in the vicinity 

 of Los Indios, where it was rather numerous from September 19 to 

 December 18. The series secured includes several birds of the year, 

 readily distinguishable by their paler colors and yellowish or brownish 

 wash below, especially on the flanks. Two of these immature birds 

 have rather small bills and practically white superciliaries, and might 

 readily be referred to D. d. albilora, while others are intermediate in 

 these respects. All immature specimens of typical D. dominica before 

 me have decidedly yellow superciliaries, so that the birds in question 

 look very suspicious, coming as they do from a locality not far remote 

 from the winter home of D. d. albilora. 



No unquestioned migration dates for this warbler for the Isle of 

 Pines are on record thus far. It is known to leave its summer home 

 very early, however, usually in July, and to pass northward again in 

 March. While in the island it seems to prefer the palms, keeping 

 rather high up.
