served it near Newport News. It is most frequently found among 

 the pines. Mr. Scott has reported the capture of two Yellow- 

 throated Warblers by Mr. W. S. Edwards in Kanawha County, 

 West Virginia, in the month of July, and Mr. Doan says he 

 found it elsewhei-e in the State. As far as is known, eastern Vir- 

 ginia specimens are true domiiiica. Some at least of the Yellow- 

 throated Warblers in West Virginia will probably be found to be 

 D. dominica albilora. 



260. Dendroica virens. Black-throated Green War- 

 bler. — Common during the migrations in the Virginias from the 

 end of April to the middle of May, and in autumn, in September 

 and part of October. I found this species common in July near 

 the summit of White Top Mountain, where it probably breeds. 



261. Dendroica kirtlandi. Kirtland's Warbler. — A 

 specimen of this rare warbler was shot by Mr. William Palmer, 

 September 25th, 18S7, on a wooded hilltop near Fort Meyer, 

 Viginia, and a week later another bird of the same species was 

 observed. Hitherto Cleveland, Ohio, has been the easternmost 

 limit of the range of this species in the United States (The Auk, 

 Vol. V, p. 14S). 



262. Dendroica vigorsii. Pine-creeping Warbler. — 

 Not very common summer resident in eastern Virginia, frequent- 

 ing especially the pines. Mr. Richmond in his list of birds 

 breeding in the District of Columbia calls it very rare in summer. 

 I have met with it in Albemarle County and near Newport 

 News. It arrives as early as March and remains until October. 

 In West Virginia Mr. Brewster found a pair in Ritchie County 

 on the 7th of May, apparently mated. Mr. Doan says that he 

 met with it once near Parkersburg, and that Mr. Brown of that 

 place has two specimens taken in July. (The Blue Mountain 

 Warbler {^Dendroica monta?ia) said by Wilson to have been met 

 with in Virginia near the Blue Ridge, has not been found by any 

 other ornitliologist.) 



263. Dendroica palmarum hypochrysea. Yellow Red- 

 poll Warbler ; Palm Warbler. — Not common migrant in east- 

 ern Virginia in spring, arriving in April, and in autumn, leav- 

 ing in October. I have observed Yellow Red-poll Warblers in 

 Albemarle County and near Newport News in the former month. 

 Drs. Coues and Prentiss call it rather rare near Washington.
