Ten specimens, adult and half-grown, taken on the slopes of the 
Soufriére in the vicinity of, and above Ste. Claude, during the latter 
part of June and the early part of July. 
The avifaunas of Guadeloupe and Dominica are by no means identi- 
cal, nevertheless many of the small birds are the same on both islands. 
I have examined a large series of adults and young and find that this 
species does not differ in the two localities. 
Adults from Dominica.

I never met this bird anywhere but in the deep woods. It is a true 
wood-warbler and as such does not descend into the lowlands unless 
following some extension of the forest. In the dense dripping woods 
that cover the sides of the Soufriére, it is often met with and is always 
one of the first birds to answer to the “squeak.” At Ste. Rose where 
the heavy woods of Soffire are so near at hand, this little warbler 
may be found just outside of the town.
