49. "WiLsoNiA PusiLLA PusiLL.\ (Wilson). 

 Wilson's Warbler. 



Six adults of both sexes from Deer Lake, Xicholsville, and Spruce 

 Brook. 



Others were observed ever\-where in the lowlands from June 2oth 

 to September 14th. The Black-poll and Wilson's Warbler are the 

 commonest warblers in Newfoundland. 



50. Setophaga ruticilla (Linne). 

 Redstart. 



Three adult males, Deer Lake and Xichols\'ille, July 1st to 20th. 



These three males show a greater extension of their black areas 

 than most of the mainland birds examined. Some specimens, how- 

 ever, are so nearly alike that no distinction can be made between 

 them. 



The Redstart was found only in the Humber River region. Here 

 there are many deciduous woods, which together make up the favorite 

 haunts of the bird. 



oL Anthus rubescens (Tunstall). 

 Pipit. 



Two youngish birds, one from the Hobley Hills, July 24th, and the 

 other from the Lewis Hills, August 21st. 



The high barren grounds of the Hobley and Lewis Hills form an 

 ideal home for the Pipit. Several flocks were seen in these regions. 



52. Nannus hiemalis HIEIVL^.LIS (Vieillot). 



Winter Wren. 



One adult female and five youngish specimens of both sexes from 

 Nichols\-ille, Port au Port, Lewis Hills, and Spruce Brook, the dates 

 ranging through the whole summer.
