migrant, and breeds in numbers on all of the mangrove kevs of the west 

 coast of Florida, as far north at least as the mouth of the Anclole River. 



Mr. Dickinson obtained late in May a series of twelve individuals of 

 this species on the South Anclote River, near Tarpon Springs, which is 

 now in the writer's collection. The birds arrive here about Mav 10-15, 

 and though Mr. Dickinson was unable to find them breeding, he saw old 

 nests of the preceding jear which appeared to have been built by this 

 bird. Thev probably build early in June, at which time the gentleman in 

 question was unable to continue his investigations. 



The species seems to be confined almost exclusively to the mangrove 

 keys, and is very difficult to obtain, even when seemingly plentiful, as 

 they are wary and shy, and the cover to which they resort is dense and im- 

 penetrable. I have only two records of their occurrence on the mainland. 



Vireo noveboracensis maynardi. Key West Vireo. — Mr. Atkins has 

 found this form quite abundant at Key \\'est, and has kindly sent me a 

 series of nine specimens and two nests containing eggs. Two of the nine 

 birds were collected at Punta Rassa and are apparently the same as the 

 seven from Key West. 



The nests are very like thoseof the true White-eyed Vireo, and the eggs 

 similar though a little larger. 



Helinaiaswainsonii. Swainson's Warbler. — Mr. Atkins has collected 

 on the island of Key West only one fall season, and it seems that Swain- 

 son's Warbler is not an uncommon migrant at that point. On Sept. 20, 

 1S87, he took three males of this species. 



Helminthophila bachmanii. Bachman's Warbler. — Before me is the 

 Bachman's Warbler referred to in 'The Auk' for October. 1S87, p. 34S. It 

 is without doubt an adult female, and is very like the specimens taken 

 near New Orleans, save that the black of the breast is more suffused with 

 yellow. 



Helminthophila peregrina. Tennessee Warbler. — On October 5 

 Mr. Atkins collected at Key West a male bird, young of the year, of this 

 species, and on the succeeding day a female, also young of the year. I 

 have not found the species on the Gulf coast of Florida. 



Dendroica tigrina. Cape May Warbler. — Mr. Atkins finds this bird a 

 rather common migrant, both in the spring and fall, at both Punta Rassa 

 and Key West. I have taken it on a single occasion in spring near Tarpon 

 Springs. Mr. Atkins's spring birds taken at Key West were obtained 

 from April 11 till May 5, and in the fall they occur in the first three weeks 

 of October. 



Geothlypis agilis. Connecticut Warbler. — On May 24, 1887, one of 

 my collectors took, on the South Anclote Key, near Tarpon Springs, an 

 adult female Connecticut Warbler. This bird is No. 3443 of my Florida 

 collection. 



Thryothorus ludovicianus miamensis. Florida Wren. — This sub- 

 species, which the latest authority gives as being restricted to "South- 

 eastern Florida," is the representative of the Carolina Wren found at Tar- 

 pon Springs, where, and also southward on the Gulf coast of Florida, it is 

 common.
