AMERICAN WARBLERS. 27 



On the southward migration they pass Massachusetts the 

 last week in August or during the first few days of 

 September. I found them common at Watsontown, Penn- 

 sylvania from Ssptember third until the sixteenth of the 

 month in company with other migrating warblers, and a 

 few remained until the thirtieth. This was in 1875. 



Although Dr. Bryant records finding the Black and 

 Yellow Warbler "as abundant as in the United States" 

 on the Bahamas, in the spring of 1859, some being found 

 as early as the fifteenth of March, I have never met with 

 a specimen there, nor have I ever seen it in Florida, 

 but it is recorded from there. The usual winter home 

 of this species Is in Eastern Mexico, south to Panama. 



The breeding range is in Northern New England, 

 Northern New York, the mountains of western Massachusetts 

 and in the Allesfhanies to Pennsvlvania.
