year. Two nests, containing six and four eggs, respectively, were located, 
the situation and general appearance being much like those of the Tennessee 
Warbler nests. An unusually situated nest was found in 1915 on dry 
upland, in a grove of small pines. 
Vermivora peregrina. TENNESSEE WARBLER.— To our experiences 
with this bird in 1915, as described in ‘The Auk’ for January, 1916, we 
would simply add that our 1916 experiences confirm the former ones. Four- 
teen nests were found, of which four contained seven eggs each, six con- 
tained six, three contained five eggs each, and one contained five newly 
hatched young, which were covered with black down. The earliest nest 
with five well incubated eggs was found on June 11. A nest was found 
June 12 containing five fresh eggs, a sixth being laid the following day. 
In the case of the latest nest, the sixth egg was laid on the morning of 
June 27 — the day of our departure. The nest of young was found on 
June 25. Our data for this second visit would seem to indicate that the 
breeding season is liable to vary considerably with different individuals.

Dendroica magnolia. Maacnonta Warsier.— Abundant breeding

Dendroica castanea. BAy-BREASTED WARBLER.— Common. Nearly 
every suitable bit of woods contained at least one pair of these birds. Six 
nests were found in 1915, as follows: one with seven fresh eggs, June 25; 
one with six fresh eggs, June 26; two with six eggs each, one fresh, the other 
about half incubated, June 27; one with seven half incubated eggs, June 
29; and one with six eggs, incubation advanced, July 1. These nests were 
in small spruces, two of them being well out on horizontal limbs, the others 
close to the trunk, at heights varying from four to ten feet. None were very 
well concealed and some of them were remarkably open, but they blended 
so well with their surroundings that they were exceedingly difficult to dis- 
cern. All of the nests of this species that we found resemble large struc- 
tures of the Magnolia Warbler, being rather loosely constructed, of fine 
spruce or similar twigs, exteriorly, a little dead grass and some insect webs 
entering into the composition, and fine, black rootlets being commonly 
used as a lining. Although the birds were apparently as abundant as in 
1916, only three nests were located, one with six fresh eggs June 14, eight 
feet up, one with six slightly incubated eggs, June 23, fifteen feet from 
ground, supported by two horizontal branches, against the main stem of a 
small balsam, near its top, in a clump of same, in partial clearing in spruce 
forest; the other with six shghtly incubated eggs, twenty feet up against 
the trunk of a spruce tree at the edge of a clearing. This latter nest was 
in a very thick portion of the foliage and absolutely invisible from the 
ground, being found only by flushing the bird. A nest found June 27,
