Dendroica tigrina (Gmelin). Cape May Warbler. 



(?) "Cape May Warbler" Read, Oologist, XXX, 1913, 131 (I. of Pines, March 25, 



1911)- 



This is one of the characteristic, if less common, winter-resident warblers through- 

 out the West Indies, and while its occurrence as such in the Isle of Pines is entirely 

 probable, Mr. Read's identification is unfortunately not susceptible of verification. 



Dendroica magnolia (Wilson). Magnolia Warbler.

 December). — Read, Oologist, XXVI, 1909, 58 (I. of Pines); XXVIII, 191 1, 113

Dendroica maculosa Read, Oologist, XXVIII, 1911, 12 (I. of Pines). 



In discussing the winter range of the present species Prof. Cooke {Bulletin 



Biological Survey, No. 18, 1904, 66) says that "there is no positive record of the 



occurrence in either" the Bahamas or Cuba. It is thus probable that Mr. Read, 



who claims to have observed "a few" on December 12, 1908, was mistaken in his 



identification.

 "Mangrove Warbler" Read, Oologist, XXX, 1913, 130 (I. of Pines), 168 (Los 



Indios). — Read, I. of Pines News, VI, Feb. 14, 1914 (I. of Pines). 



Eight specimens: Los Indios, Bird Island, Majagua River, and 

 Siguanea. 



These prove upon comparison to be fairly distinct from specimens, 

 from the Bahama Islands [D. p. flaviceps) and Porto Rico (D. p. 

 cruciana), being much darker and more greenish than either. Several 

 younger females, with white and gray feathers intermixed, are included. 



This is a bird of the mangroves, to which it is apparently exclusively 

 confined. It is accordingly most numerous along the coast and about 

 the islands of Siguanea Bay, where the mangroves are so constant and 

 pronounced a feature. Mr. Read has observed it along the Pine River 

 also, but it is apparently a rare bird in the northern part of the island,, 

 judging from the dearth of records, and, indeed, it cannot be called a 

 common bird at any locality as yet visited. Two nests were founds 

 both in mangroves within a few feet of the water, during the third 

 week in April, but as yet without eggs.
