cured a series (now in the collection of J. H. Fleming) at the fol- 

 lowing localities : Cana Honda, one, January 4 ; Sanchez, four Jan- 

 uary 21 and 24, February 26, 27 and 28 ; Samana, nineteen, January 

 30 and February 2 to 23 ; Eio San Juan, one, February 1 ; and La 

 Vega, one, March 13. Peters collected two at Bulla on February 

 12, 1916. Abbott obtained five at Constanza September 22, 23 and 

 26, 1916, one at El Eio, October 9, 1916, and one at Mao, February 

 23, 1921. Beck secured two at La Vega, November 28, 1916. Mol- 

 toni received skins from Ciferri taken at Sabana San Thome, near 

 San Juan, October 23, 1928, and at 1,200 to 1,500 meters elevation 

 on Monte Viejo August 26, 1929. The latter must represent early 

 migrants and not breeding birds as he supposed. 



In the Kepublic of Haiti Bartsch saw one a short distance north 

 of Port-au-Prince, April 27, 1917. Bond records others at Port-au- 

 Prince, Gonaives 41 and Kenskoff. Poole and Perryo collected a 

 male at Massacrin on Gonave Island, March 9, 1929, this being the 

 only Haitian specimen of which we have record. 



The yellow-throated warbler is similar in size and form to other 

 migrant warblers of the genus Dendroica found on the island. 

 Above it is deep gray, with two white bars across a black wing, a 

 blackish forehead, a white line over the eye that is yellow at the 

 base of the bill, black cheeks, bright 3 7 ellow throat, and the rest of 

 the underparts white, with the sides streaked with black.
