47. Vireo noveboracensis. White-eyed Vireo. — So far as I am 

 aware, it is confined to the Oolenoy Valley, where it is a common 

 songster. 



48. Mniotilta varia. Black-and-White Warbler. — Noted at all ele- 

 vations. Very common. Although individuals continued to sing to the 

 end of my last visit, still, from the outset, the song season was markedly 

 on the wane. An adult male sang so strangely at the summit of Mt. Pin- 

 nacle, June 22, that t found it necessary to shoot it in order to fully satisfy 

 my mind as to its identity. 



49. Helmitherus vermivorus. Worm-eating Warbler.— Decidedly 

 common, in the wooded ravines and coves, from the lower valleys to the 

 crests of the mountains. Young birds— well clothed and steady of wing 

 — were obtained early in June. 



50. Helminthophila chrysoptera. Golden-winged Warbler.— An 

 adult male in full feather and a bird of the year in ragged plumage were 

 shot, June 29, in a thicket on the edge of a little clearing just below 

 the High-low Gap, at an altitude of about 2500 feet. 



51. Compsothlypis americana. Parula Warbler.— This bird was 

 very common, arid sang with vigor as long as I remained. The timbered 

 hollows, from base to apex, were favorite haunts. 



52. Dendroica sestiva. Yellow Warbler. — Rather common in the 

 cultivated valleys. Not observed elsewhere. In full song. 



53. Dendroica pensylvanica. Chestnut-sided Warbler. — Only found 

 at isolated points, and not lower than 2500 feet. The situation where they 

 were most numerous was a small clearing near the High-low Gap. Here 

 as many as five males were heard singing in the course of a few minutes. 

 The testes of males procured June 13 and later were about the size of 

 a small pea. In song through June. 



54. Dendroica blackburniae. Blackburnian Warbler. But three 

 specimens were obtained — two adult males, in full dress, June 18 and 21, 

 at about 2500 feet ; a female, moulting, June 24, above 3000 feet. All were 

 in hardwood timber. The testes of the males were not larger than a pin's 

 head of ordinary size. 



55. Dendroica dominica albilora. Sycamore Warbler.— A pair, 

 accompanied by their brood, was met with June 23, 1887, among a mixed
