Parksville, Little Qualicum River, Errington, Alberni, French 

 Creek, Golden Eagle Basin, and Nootka Sound. Two females 

 taken by Miss Kellogg at the Little Qualicum River, May 7, and 

 at Errington, May 2-1. are each marked as containing eggs in the 

 oviduct. A juvenal, out of the nest, was collected at Errington 

 on May 27; at Beaver Creek, during June, the young birds were 

 quite abundant. In the Golden Eagle Basin, in July, old and 

 young together were fairly numerous in the willow thickets, but 

 I believe from their actions that they were at this time just 

 moving up into the mountains from the valley below. At Nootka 

 Sound, both at the Tahsis Canal and at Friendly Cove, lutescent 

 warblers were seen daily during our stay, July 24 to August 1 1 , 

 and were evidently moving southward. At Errington, during 

 September, they were observed throughout the month though not 

 particularly numerous. 



A male in first winter plumage, a migrant, taken at Erring- 

 ton September 11 (no. 16356), shows an evident approach to 

 V. celata celata in the decidedly grayish coloration of the head 

 and throat, but the general color elsewhere is of a brighter 

 greenish-yellow than is seen in that race. 



Dendroica aestiva rubiginosa (Pallas) 

 Alaska Yellow Warbler 

 At Beaver Creek, in the willow and alder thickets of the 

 numerous swamps, yellow warblers were fairly numerous, the 

 only place where we found them so. An immature male taken at 

 Friendly Cove on August 7 (no. 16369) was the only one seen 

 at this point, and was also the last individual of the species 

 seen during the summer. The ten specimens collected (nos. 

 16360-16369) are indistinguishable from Alaskan examples of 

 rubiginosa at hand. 



Dendroica coronata hooveri McGregor 



Alaska Myrtle Warbler 



An adult male was taken by Miss Alexander at Parksville on 



.May 2 (no. 16370). The species was not met with again until 



the middle of September, at the beginning of the southward 



migration, when it became very abundant. The first were seen
