Dendroica aestiva rubiginosa (Pallas). 
Alaska Yellow Warbler. 
A few seen about Cordova, June 3 to 7. At the head of 
Cordova Bay, June 14, Miss Alexander secured two male speci- 
mens (nos. 1264, 1265). These bear out closely the characters 
assigned to rubiginosa. The species was seen but once again, 
at the head of Port Nell Juan, the third week of August, when 
Heller saw two individuals in alder thickets. 
Dendroica coronata hooveri McGregor. Alaska Myrtle Warbler. 
Seen only at the head of Port Nell Juan, where three speci- 
mens were obtained August 18 and 19, all three in complete first 
winter plumage. The colors are exceptionally deep, the upper 
surface being of a very dark brown (near to sepia) with blackish 
shaft-streaks ; and the under surface has the usually white areas 
strongly pervaded with cream color. I do not mean to imply, 
by stating these points, that the eastern coronata at this stage 
of plumage is not similarly distinguished, for I have no eastern 
August birds for comparison. But the greater size, alone, of 
these, as well as all other Alaskan examples examined, impels 
me to assert again the distinctness of hooveri as a geograph- 
ical race of D. coronata. (See Univ. Calif. Publ. Zool., V, 1909,

Dendroica townsendi (Townsend). Townsend Warbler. 
One secured at Cordova June 7, and two more at the head 
of Cordova Bay, June 9. These are full-plumaged adult males 
(nos. 1289-1291), found by Miss Alexander in seattering small 
spruce trees bordering the flats, where they were actively fly- 
eatehing. They sang persistently, the brief song consisting of 
three triple notes given every few seconds. At the head of 
Port Nell Juan, August 13 to 18, eight specimens were taken
