Five specimens, including the cotypes of the species, a mated pair 
taken March 6; an adult 2 taken March 20; an adult @ taken March 24; 
a young, in nestling plumage, taken May 28, —all at Nassau. 
The New Providence Pine Warbler is a very distinct island form. The 
adult g differs from the adult ¢ of D. vigors¢/ in having the throat and 
breast pale yellow (about pale lemon yellow); belly and under tail- 
coverts soiled white; flanks and sides brownish; the upper parts much 
duller — more brownish, less greenish. The adult @ differs from the 
adult 2 of D. vigorséi in being much duller and browner below with 
very little yellow on throat and this of a very pale shade; upper parts 
dull olive brown instead of greenish. 
The nestling differs from any nestlings of D. vigorstz I have seen, 
in having the back a color very near cinnamon-rufous (this region 
in nestlings of D. vigors¢é being, usually, about sepia). 
D. achrustera isa smaller bird than D. vigorszz, as shown by the fol- 
lowing measurements:

In adult males of D. vfgorsiz I find the wing measures not less than 
70 mm. and often exceeds this by seferal mm. 
44. Dendroica palmarum (Gmel.). PALM WARBLER.—One @, 
Nassau, April 26, 1897, a late date for this species. 
1 Axpovorepa—less highly colored.
