has once been found breeding, a set of four eggs being taken by I. S. 
Trostler, June 23, 1894. 
660. Dendroica castanea (Wilson)—-Bay-BREASTED WARBLER. 
The right of this warbler to be considered asa Nebraska bird rests 
entirely upon Aughey’s record. He found it occasional in eastern 
Nebraska and took a specimen in September, 1874. This is an 
eastern species barely reaching the Missouri, and breeding from the 
northern states northward. 
661. Dendroica striata (Forster) -BLAacK-POLL WARBLER. 
A common migrant over the eastern half of the state, passing 
through during the second and third weeks in May and in August. 
Breeds from the northern states northward. Omaha, Lincoln, 
Beatrice, Peru, West Point, Neligh, Cherry county. 
662. Dendroica blackburnize (Gmelin) —-BLACKBURNIAN WARBLER. 
Aughey states that he has occasionally seen this well marked 
warbler in the borders of woodlands in eastern Nebraska, and Bruner 
has noted it at West Point and Omaha. It breeds from northern 
~ Minnesota northward. 
663a. Dendroica dominica albilora Ridgway—SycamMorr WARBLER. 
Aughey’s record of dominica undoubtedly refers to this subspecies, 
which breeds in the Mississippi valley from Texas to central Illinois 
and eastern Kansas, and stragglers even to Wisconsin and Michigan. 
He says he has seen it only along the Nemaha in southeastern Ne- 
braska, where he took a specimen in September, 1874; no one else 
has reported it. It probably occasionally breeds in the extreme 
southeastern part of the state. 
667. Dendroica virens (Gmelin) —BLACK-THROATED GREEN WARBLER. 
A rare migrant through eastern third of state. Aughey records 
taking three specimens in Dakota county June 5 and 6, 1865, and two 
in Lancaster county June 14,1875. Bruner has observed it at Omaha, 
Florence, and Weeping Water. Cary reported it twice from Neligh, 
late in April, 1898, and May 4, 1899. Breeds from northern Illinois 
northward. 
671. Dendroica vigorsii (Audubon)—PiINE WaRBLER. 
Aughey says this warbler occurs here during early spring and 
autumn, and that he took specimens in Dakota county in April, 
1865, and Lancaster county in April, 1875 and 1877. He also took 
one Sept. 30,1876. No other definite Nebraska records of this bird. 
It breeds from Minnesota and Manitoba southward, and may be found 
nesting in this state. 
672. Dendroica palmarum (Gmelin)—PautmM WARBLER. 
Aughey recorded this species as abundant in eastern Nebraska, 
which it certainly is not now, but is rare. He noted it in both early 
spring and late fall, and took specimens April 10,1875, and Oct. 1,
