250. Dendroica sestiva. Yellow Warbler. — Common 

 summer resident of the Virginias, more numerous in the migra- 

 tions ; arrives the latter part of April and leaves in September ; 

 breeds. 



351. Dendroica caerulescens. Black-throated Blue 

 Warbler. — Common in the Virginias during the migrations, the 

 last week in April and the first half of May ; in autumn seen in 

 September and the first week in October. It is also a summer 

 resident of the higher mountains, frequenting the brakes of 

 Laurel (R. AIaximu?n) ^ and undoubtedly breeds there. 



252. Dendroica coronata. Yellow-rumped Warbler. — 

 Common in the Virginias during the migrations, many also win- 

 tering in the warmer districts. Numerous in spring, the last 

 week in April and first two weeks in May. I have not observed 

 it in winter in Albemarle County, although it lingers there late in 

 autumn. Like the Cedar-bird it is partial to the berries of the 

 Red Cedar {yup^iperus virginia7ta) . 



253. Dendroica maculosa. Magnolia Warbler ; Black 

 AND Yellow Warbler. — Rather common migrant in the Vir- 

 ginias during the first three weeks in May ; in autumn to be met 

 with in September and early in October. Not hitherto reported 

 in summer from the higher mountain region. 



254. Dendroica cserulea. Cerulean Warbler. — Ac- 

 cidental or very rare in eastern Virginia. Mr. E. M. Hasbrouck 

 took a male on Rock Creek in the District of Columbia, May 5, 

 1888, (The Auk, Vol. V, p. 323), and a female on the Virginia 

 side of the Potomac, May 11, 1S90, (The Auk, Vol. VII, p. 291). 

 One is also reported by Mr. Jouy to have been seen at Arlington, 

 Virginia, in the latter part of May, 1877. In West Virginia, Mr. 

 Brewster found it in spring the commonest of its genus in Ritchie 

 County, where it frequented the tops of the highest forest trees. 

 Mr. Scott found it rare in Kanawha County where it confined itself 

 almost exclusively to beech trees ; fully fledged young were capt- 

 ured by him as early as June 29th. A beautiful specimen was 

 obtained June i, 1883, at Fairview, Hancock County, by Rev. 

 W. E. Hill. 



255. Dendroica pennsylvanica. Chestnut-sided Warb- 

 ler. — Common migrant at least in eastern Virginia, the first half 

 of May and again in September. It was seen in the streets of
