1890.] Scott on Birds at the Dry Tortugas. ^ I ^ 



53. Mniotilta varia. Black-and-white Warbler. — Tint, was one of 

 the commonest birds at the Tortugas during my stay, and was found there 

 by Dr. Goodman as late as April 28. On March 23 the birds were par- 

 ticularly abundant at Garden Key. 



54. Protonotaria citrea. Prothonotary Warbler. — This species 

 was met with but once on Garden Key. An adult male flew into an open 

 window on April 6. 



55. Helinaia swainsonii. Swainson's Warbler. — Three individuals 

 were obtained on Garden Key during my stay. A male was procured on 

 March 25, and another flew in at an open window the next day. A female 

 was taken on April 5 concluding all records of the species at this point. 



56. Helmitherus vermivorus. Worm-eating Warbler. — Two males 

 taken on April 5 are all that were recorded during my stay. Dr. Good- 

 man obtained a single bird on April 13. 



57. Helminthophila bachmani. Bachman's Warbler. — A male taken 

 on March 26 and a female taken on April 9 comprise all the records 

 that were made of this species on the Dry Tortugas. 



58. Helminthophila pinus. Blue-winged Warbler. — Three were 

 taken on March 2^, and one each on March 24 and 25, — five individuals 

 in all. 



59. Compsothlypis americana. Parula Warbler. — A few were 

 noted and taken on the different keys during my stay. The birds were 

 most abundant March 24 and 25 on Garden Key. 



60. Dendroica tigrina. Cape May Warbler. — I took a single bird 

 on April 8, and Dr. Goodman obtained one on the 27th of that month. 



61. Dendroica caerulescens. Black-throated Blue Warbler. — 

 Dr. Goodman obtained one on April 24. I did not meet with the species. 



62. Dendroica coronata. Myrtle Warbler. — The only one ob- 

 served, a female, was taken on Garden Key March 31. 



63. Dendroica caerulea. Cerulean Warbler. — The only one 

 recorded, an adult male, was taken in the low bushes on Bird Key, March 

 23- 



64. Dendroica striata. Blackpoll Warbler. — Dr. Goodman took 

 two of these birds, one on the 26th and the other on the 2Sth of April. I 

 did not meet with them. 



65. Dendroica dominica. Yellow-throated Warbler. — Three 

 Warblers of this kind were taken on the different keys of the group. 

 The records are a male, March 23; a male, March 29; and a female, April 

 8. These birds are all well marked and typical specimens. 



67. Dendroica dominica albilora. Sycamore Warlber. — Six examples 

 of this subspecies were obtained on the keys of the group during mv stay. 

 All are very strongly marked and are to be easily selected at a glance from 

 the true dominica. The records of this subspecies for Florida are, so far as 

 I know, confined to the single bird taken by Mr. J. W. Atkins at Key West 

 (see Auk, Vol. VII, No. 1, p. 20). There are no records that I am aware 

 of for the mainland of the peninsula. It is not a little remarkable that 

 the western form of a bird should be so well represented in the migratory 

 season on the extreme western land oft" the Florida coast.
