152. Dendroica kirtlandi Baird. Kirtland's Warbler. The only specimen 

 known in the State was taken May 4, 18i*2. This is the twenty-second specimen 

 reported from North America. Little is known of its life history. I took it in a 

 thicket. It was alone, there being no other birds in the near vicinity of it. It 

 seemed to be an active Hy catcher, not having the motions of the other Dendroico \ 

 being less active. It would dart off after an insect and then return to the same 

 perch. Another specimen was taken May 7, 1895. Early in the morning I 

 heard a bird singing in the thicket of plum trees near the house. The song was 

 strange to me. and consisted of a loud ringing note repeated three times in quick 

 .'succession, suggesting that of the Wrens or Maryland Yellow Throat. I did not 

 go to look for it at once, but as it continued singing for some time I finally got 

 my gun and went to look for it. It had tlown over intn the orchard then, but 

 soon returned to the plum thicket and was constantly uttering that peculiar 

 note. I finally caught sight of it and watched it for some time, not thinking of 

 its being the rare kirfandi. It moved with the grace and ease of a vireo or 

 tly-catcher. Wallace. [Proc. Ind. Academy of Science. 18'J3, pp. IIH, 120].
