LIST. 



from May 18 to 24, but not met with in the 

 autumn. 



214. Chestnut-sided Warbler. D. pennsylvanica. 



(Linn.) 



" Summer Resident," common. Breeds in Mount 

 Royal Park. Nests with eggs found from June 5 

 to 24. Observed here from May 11 to August 18. 



215. Bay-breasted Warbler. D. castanea. (Wils.) 

 " Transient Visitant," scarce. I shot two male 



specimens on the spur of Mount Royal May 2 L and 

 24, 1890, and another male May 28, 1892, at St. 

 Lambert, in the swampy woods there, but have not 

 met with this species here after the latter date in 

 the spring, nor autumn. Mr. Kuetzing says this 

 warbler breeds on the Island of Montreal, but I 

 have not seen them here during the summer months, 

 Mr. Kuetzing has shot the young of this warbler, 

 and other species of warblers, in the eastern belt ot 

 woods on the Island of Montreal in the month of 

 July, and bases his opinion of their breeding here 

 on that account, but I think it is likely that they 

 are birds which have bred further north, and were 

 returning south towards their winter quarters. 



216. Black-poll Warbler. D. striata. (Forst.) 



" Transient Visitant." I consider this species art 

 irregular spring migrant, and have not met with,
