AVERY BIRD COLLECTION ty) 
“May 14, 1898. Took nest No. 5 this morning; it con- 
tained bits of egg shells. The nest was found building 
on the 20th of April and examined on the 8th of May— 
eighteen days from the first day the bird was seen 
building. The eggs must have been destroyed by a jay 
or in some unaccountable way, for they could hardly 
have hatched and the young have left the nest in less than 
three weeks.

178. DENDROICA VIRENS (Gmelin). 
BLACK-THROATED GREEN WARBLER. 
“Not common. Spring and autumn migrant. Arrives 
later than any warbler, except the myrtle and palm war- 
blers in the fall. First seen this fall, October 16, last 
met with October 24. On October 23, a cold day, I ob- 
served, in the town of Greensboro, four of these war- 
blers busily searching the leaves of a shade tree for 
insects. They were so gentle that one might stand with 
his face within two or three feet of them, as they hopped 
about on the lowest branches of the tree just over the edge 
of the sidewalk.” (1891c).
