and shaded streets. At almost any hour of the day, during 

 the first two weeks of May, several may be heard singing 

 about the library building on the Oberlin College campus. 

 It is no less numerous anywhere else in the state, judging 

 from the reports. 



In the spring migrations it reaches southern Ohio about 

 April 25 and the lake shore about two days later; passing 

 north about May 20, but often remaining several days 

 longer, singing all the time. The first return during the 

 latter part of August and tarry into the first week of Oc- 

 tober. It is just possible that a few pairs remain to breed 

 in the northern counties.

Our state enjoys the honor of furnishing the type speci- 

 men of this rare and little known species, and to Charles 

 Pease belongs the coveted honor of securing that specimen. 

 The state records should be brought down to date. The 

 name of the collector, place and date are given.

No other state can boast so many specimens, but Mich- 

 igan is fast approaching us in numbers. Better acquaintance 

 with the species and greater activity in field work will prob- 

 ably prove this supposably rare warbler not "The rarest of 

 all the warblers."
