92. Dendroica kirtlandi. Kirtland's Warbler. — I met with an indi- 

 \ddual of tins species at Woodbine, May 10, a Sunday afternoon when I 

 unfortunately, had no gun. I watched the bird closely for some ten or 

 fifteen minutes. Its actions resembled those of the Pine Warbler but its 

 song was rather Uke that of the Black-throated Green. It consisted of six 

 notes. The first and fourth were long while the others were much shorter 

 and in pairs. The first, and the last two, notes were pitched high, wliile 

 the three middle notes were about a fifth lower.
