THE BIRDS OF MONTREAL. 



them here in the autumn, but May 24, 1883, they 

 were plentiful in the woods at Hochelaga, and I 

 shot a female specimen there June 3 the same year. 

 I have not seen any here since that time, which is 

 rather remarkable, as I have made it a rule to 

 observe the warblers here every spring, but some 

 seasons I have not rambled through the woods 

 where I saw this species in 1883, so that some 

 years they may have occurred here locally without 

 my coming across them. 



217. Blackburnian Warbler. D. blackburniee. (Gmel.) 

 " Transient Visitant," common. I shot a female 



specimen of this warbler, on the spur of Mount 

 Royal, May 19, 1888, and a male May 10, 1890. 

 Observed here from May 10 to 24, but not met 

 with in the autumn. 



218. Black-throated Green Warbler. D. virens. 



(Gmel.) 



" Summer Resident," common spring migrant, 

 but scarce summer resident. I saw one June 18, 

 1887, in Mount Royal Park, and shot a male and 

 female specimen July 1. 1^85, at Calumet; also ob- 

 served two or three young birds of this species 

 August 27, 1892. in Mount Royal Park. Observed 

 here in spring, May 7, and in the autumn, from 

 October 4 to 10.
