74. Vermivora rubricapilla. Nashville Warbler.— At Esquimaux 

 Point on June 13 and again near the Mingan River on June 21 we heard 

 the song of tlais bird. The birds were not seen. The only other record is 

 that of Audubon who procured a few. 



75. Dendroica aestiva. Yellow Warbler. — We shot an adult male 

 of this species at Esquimaux Point on June 10, and saw another at that 

 place on June 11. We found it common near the Mingan River on June 21. 



76. Dendroica cserulescens. Black-throated Blue Warbler. — 

 On June 20 at Mingan we saw at close range an adult male of this species. 

 The finding of a dead bird by Audubon, "a victim to the severity of the 

 climate," is tlie only pre\aous record for Labrador. 



77. Dendroica coronata. Yellow-rumped Warbler. — We saw a few 

 of tliis species at various places along tlie coast in the earlier part of our 

 visit from our arrival at Esquimaux Point on May 24, up to June 3; none 

 after that date. 



78. Dendroica magnolia. Magnollv Warbler. — We saw the first 

 Magnolia Warbler at Esquimaux Point on June 4, after wliich it became 

 very common wherever we went. 



79. Dendroica striata. Black-poll Warbler. — We found tliis bird 

 on our arrival at Esquimaux Point on May 24, and at aU other points along 

 the coast. On June 5 it became very abundant, and we counted 21 at 

 Esquimaux Point in a walk not over a mile in length. It continued abun- 

 dant during the remainder of our stay. 



80. Dendroica virens. Black-throated Green Warbler. — We 

 found three of these birds on May 28 near the Piaslite-bai River, two at 

 Natashquan on May 31, one at Esquimaux Island on June 7, while at 

 Mingan in the week of June 15 to 21 we found the bird common. 



The only previous records are of one taken by Frazar at Esquimaux Point, 

 and of two seen by Palmer at the Mingan Islands. 



81. Dendroica palmarum hypochrysea. Yellow Palm Warbler. — 

 We saw one bird of this species on May 31 at Natashquan, another in full

 of tliis species at Natashquan on May 31, and another at Mingan on June 21.

 mon bird at Esquimaux Point and Mingan. The first bird was seen at 

 Esquimaux Point on June 2. 



84. Wilsonia pusilla. Wilson's Warbler. — A very common warbler, 

 but not seen until June 4, when four appeared at Esquimaux Point. 

 After this they were very common and in full song everywhere. 



85. Setophaga ruticilla. Redstart. — We saw and shot the first Red- 

 start on Esquimaux Island on June 7. After that the bird was fairly 

 common here and at Mingan. The previous records for Labrador are very 

 scanty.
