tertee; tswee te chu.”* 
On the 28th of August, 1903, Professor Jones and the writer encoun- 
tered two of these birds in the extreme southern part of Lawrence County, 
at a point opposite Ashland, Kentucky. The first bird seen loitered for as 
much as ten minutes in the top of a little willow tree, and appeared in nowise 
disturbed by our scrutiny. He was deliberate, not to say indolent, in move- 
ment, and delivered from time to time a very light and pleasing rollick, with 
something of the quality but nothing of the strength of the Myrtle’s song. 
After being observed for about twenty minutes the bird darted 
down into a thicket where he was joined by another precisely similar, and 
after a minute or two the pair retired into the depths. So far as reported 
this was the first appearance of the Kirtland Warbler in the interior during 
the fall migration. 
As this book is going to press word comes from Michigan that Mr. 
Norman A. Wood of Ann Arbor has just discovered the nesting haunts of 
the Kirtland Warbler in Oscoda County. According to the last issue of 
the Bulletin of the Michigan Ornithological Club, Vol. IV., No. 2, June, 
1903 (really issued about July 10th), “Just after this issue has gone tc 
press Mr. Wood returned home from his trip north in quest of the Kirtland’s 
Warbler with very gratifying success, having obtained a fine series of skins, 
male, female, nestlings, full-fledged young, nest, and eggs.” Bravo! and 
alas! The last shrine of ornithological mystery has been penetrated. There 
are no more worlds to conquer.
