ends there as the latter never sings exclusively two notes 
as this bird does. In syllabic form I make the song a 
drawling 7's-s-s-gee-e-e-e. Compare this with the syllables 
of the Golden-wing on page 167 and the tonal likeness is 
apparent. There is little or no difference between Ps and 
Ts descriptively applied to a bird’s song, but the real 
differentiation shows itself in the Gee-e-e-e, or, it would 
be as well written, zee-e-e-e, for that note has a buzzing 
quality, and it is a single note not four notes. Here is a 
cecord from Virginia:

the first a mere nothing, and the second a husky drawl, 
in a voice like the Blue Golden-wing’s.’’ A mere nothing?« 
Yes, find it if you can somewhere in the woodwork to the 
right of highest C on your piano! Mr. Lynes Jones de- 
scribes another, fuller song of this Warbler by the follow- 
ing syllables: Wee, chi-chi-chi-chi, chur, chee-chur, but 
I have no knowledge of it. 
Tennessee The little Tennessee Warbler, one of the

May isth discover him in any of the townships 
within the White Mountain region, especially the more 
northerly ones. The general coloring of the bird is so 
nearly like that of the Red-eyed Vireo that the first sight 
of him might prove misleading except for the testimony of 
the song. Upper parts distinctively olive-green, the head 
and neck back of the eye bluish gray, a very pronounced
