 April 5, two males, April 20 and 26, a male each day, May 6, two females, 

 were the entire number observed. 



133. Dendroica coronata. Myrtle Warbler. — The most abundant 

 bird of any species, and very generally distributed. Fully nine tenths of 

 their numbers departed after a severe northeast storm on April 8 and 9.

 male each day, May 9, two males and a female, constitute the entire 

 record. 



125. Dendroica dominica. Yellow-throated Warbler. — Rather 

 rare winter resident. March 2, migrants in full song began to arrive, and 

 on the 4th of that month they were abundant in the cypresses and common 

 in the pines near water. After this there was little or no change in their 

 numbers or distribution. A partly formed &^^ was found in the oviduct 

 of a female taken April 14. Several birds in my series of thirty-two are 

 albilora so far as measurements are concerned, but none are without at 

 least a trace of yellow over the eye.

 pineries, in full song February i, and frequently heard before that date. 

 Young, about two days from the nest, were taken April 18. 



127. Dendroica palmarum. Palm Warbler. — Abundant and v&vy 

 generally distributed ; numbers appearing in the streets and gardens of 

 the town, reminding one of Chipping Sparrows as they hopped around 

 our doors and piazzas. They commenced to moult about March 15, and 

 had not acquired their new plumage at the time of their departure, April 

 29, up to which date they were common.
