Lloyd on Birds of Western Texas. [ October 



with the Orange-crowned; seen on the Plains with Bell's Vireo, Blue 

 Grosbeak, etc.. in October, 1SS5. 



204. Helminthophila celata. Orange-crowned Warbler. — Abun- 

 dant in the fall migration (may be var. lutescens). 



205. Helminthophila peregrina. Tennessee Warbler. — Early fall 

 migrant in Tom Green County. Tolerably common, 



206. Dendroica aestiva. Yellow Warbler. — More abundant tban 

 all the other Warblers together in spring and fall. A few may breed, as I 

 have seen them during all the summer months. 



207. Dendroica coronata. .Myrtle Warbler. — Spring migrant. 

 Tolerably common, May 13. 



20S. Dendroica auduboni. Audubon's Warbler. — Tolerably com- 

 mon spring and fall migrant. Arrives in spring, May 13. In fall I saw 

 it in crossing the Plains the first week in October, and shot two from a 

 flock as late as October 20, 18S6, in Concho County. 



209. Dendroica caerulea. Cerulean Warbler. — Saw small flocks of 

 five to eight in crossing the Plains, the middle of October, 1S85. 



210. Dendroica chrysoparia. Golden-cheeked Warbler. — One 

 was shot in a hackberry in April, 1SS7. Its stomach contained winged 

 (female) ants. 



211. Dendroica virens. Black-throated Green Warbler. — Com- 

 mon fall migrant, from August 1 to September 20. 



212. Dendroica townsendi. Townsend's Warbler. — Rare migrant 

 in spring and fall. Arrives May 8. Undoubtedly breeds in Tom Green 

 County, near the plains, in a dense swampy undergrowth full of springs, 

 about live miles in circumference. Seen May 31 and July 31, in thickets 

 some two miles from the river, along which it migrates. In fall seen 

 from September 1 to 12, on Lipan Creek (Euterpe on map), where one 

 was killed on the 10th by Mr. Loomis. Shot September 5, in Tom Green 

 County. Mr. Henshaw, in 'The Auk,' speaks of it as occurring on the 

 Upper Pecos. The A. O. U. habitat is east as far as Western Colorado 

 and south into Mexico; hence this record considerably extends the range 

 of this species to the south and west. 



213. Seiurus aurocapillus. Oven-bird. — Overlooked until September 

 10, 1SS6, when I shot one specimen and saw another in Concho County. 



214. Geothlypis Philadelphia. Mourning Warbler. — Tolerably 

 common in fall migration in Concho County. None seen after Septem- 

 ber 1. Feeds on ants. Mr. Sennett's record is the only other notice I can 

 find of this species in Texas. 



215. Geothlypis macgillivrayi. Macgillivray's Warbler. — Abun- 

 dant from Castle Hill to Pecos River. Probably breeds. 



216. Geothlypis trichas occidentalis. Western Yellow-throat. — 

 Abundant spring and fall migrant. 



217. Icteria virens. Yellow-breasted Chat. — Tolerably common 

 during the spring migrations. 



21S. Icteria virens longicauda. Long-tailed Chat. — Abundant sum- 

 mer visitor, especially in dense undergrowth. Very numerous in the
