284. Dendroica vireus Gmel. Black-tliroated Green WarUer. 



A common migrant; entering our precincts in April, and 

 passing through the state withont delay. In the fall it ar- 

 rives about the middle of September, but the latest date of 

 the "last seen" was October 22, 189(>, at New Orleans. 



285. Dendroica vigorsii And. Pine Warbler.

 all parts of the state where pines grow. Breeding.

 ning of April. The earliest date of arrival and latest day of 

 departure for New Orleans are November 6, 1894, and April 

 11, 1896, respectively. 



387. Dendroica discolor Viell. Prairie WarUer. 



Being fairly common about Centrevilleand Ariel, in Miss- 

 issippi, not many miles from our state line, and the localities 

 exhibiting the same characteristics, 1 think it merely an over- 

 sight that there is no record of this not .uncommon warbler 

 having been taken within our precincts.

Common during migration; arriving from the south in

 tember, and the last have passed through by the middle of 

 October. It is, however, a winter resident in the extreme 

 south and southwest. I obtained it on Avery's Island in Janu- 

 ary 1894 and 1890.
