•2 I J. Scott on Birds at the. Dry Tortugas. [October 



6S. Dendroica virens. Black-throated Green Warbler. — Dr. 

 Goodman obtained a single specimen on April 26. 



69. Dendroica palmarum. Palm Warbler. — This was the common- 

 est Warbler at the Tortugas during the time I spent there, and the twenty 

 or more individuals taken form an interesting series, being in the moult 

 and showing the change from the winter to the breeding plumage. Dr. 

 Goodman took two of these birds on Garden Key on April 24 and 26. 



70. Dendroica palmarum hypochrysea. Yellow Palm Warbler. — 

 Two males taken March 22 and March 31, I refer to this subspecies. 

 These are all the records I have obtained. 



71. Dendroica discolor. Prairie Warbler. — During my stay these 

 birds were not uncommon, being noted almost daily, and sometimes as 

 many as half a dozen were seen at the same time. 



72. Seiurus aurocapillus. Ovenbird. — This bird was not common at 

 the Tortugas, but two or three being secured or observed. Dr. Goodman 

 obtained a single bird as late as April 21. 



73. Seiurus noveboracensis. Water-thrush. — Dr. Goodman 

 obtained single representatives of this species on April 25 and May 2. 



74. Seiurus noveboracensis notabilis. Grinnell's Water-thrush. — 

 Two Water-thrushes, a female March 26, and a male March 28, I refer 

 to this well-marked subspecies. These were all the Water-thrushes I 

 obtained at the Tortugas. 



75. Geothlypis formosa. Kentucky Warbler. — On March 29 I took 

 an adult male, which is, so far as I am aware, the second record of the 

 species in Florida. 



76. Geothlypis trichas. Maryland Yellow-throat. — A female was 

 taken on March 21 and a male, on April 7. These are all the records 

 from this group save a single bird taken by Dr. Goodman on April 26. 



77. Sylvania mitrata. Hooded Warbler. — This species was more or 

 less common during my stay. On March 23 I took four and saw three 

 others, and almost every day a single bird was seen or taken. Dr. Good- 

 man obtained them as late as April 14. 



78. Setophaga ruticilla. American Redstart, — Two males were 

 taken during my stay, one on March 30 and one on April 5. Dr. 

 Goodman found them to be quite common during the last week in April 

 and up to May 2. 



79. Galeoscoptes carolinensis. Catbird. — This species was not com- 

 mon during my stav, and only two were secured and no others noted. 

 But Dr. Goodman found them rather abundant during the last week in 

 April and the early part of May. 



80. Polioptila caerulea. Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher. — Never very com- 

 mon, but met with several times, generally in pairs. Perhaps ten in all 

 were seen.
