accordingly I kept a sharp look out about that time, but until 

 the commencement of May I scarcely shot any, and then, un- 

 luckily, I had very little time to spare. Dr. Heermann was out 

 several times, but, owing to his lameness, he could only make 

 his way through the long weeds with difficulty, and besides was 

 unable to shoot with any degree of precision. Thus our stock 

 of Warblers is unusually small, considering the rich field we had 

 for our operations. 



Oporornis formosus (Wilson). Kentucky Warbler. 

 Passes San Antonio in the spring and autumn. 

 I saw several on the Medina in May, but only shot one spe- 

 cimen. 



Helminthophaga chrysoptera (Linnseus) . Golden-winged 

 Warbler. 



Passes San Antonio in the spring and autumn. 



Helminthophaga buficapilla (Wilson). Nashville War- 

 bler. 



, Passes San Antonio in the spring and autumn. On the 6th 

 May I found it on the Medina, and shot several. 



Helminthophaga celata (Say) . Orange-crowned Warbler. 

 Passes San Antonio in the spring and autumn. 



SiURUs noveboracensis (Gmelin). New York Water- 

 Thrush. 



[Found all the summer on the banks of the Medina. — A.L. H.] 

 I shot one specimen in December, but did not see any more 

 until the 24th April, after which I noticed them daily. 



Dendrceca virens (Gmelin). Black-throated Green War- 

 bler. 



Passes San Antonio in the spring and autumn. I noticed it 

 as early as March, and shot one specimen then. 



Dendr(eca chrysoparia, Sclater. 



One specimen was procured by a young man named Ogden, 

 together with several other Warblers, at his step-father^s (How- 

 ard's) rancho on the Medina. He gave it to Dr. Heermann, 

 who kindly transferred it to me, as Ogden collected for us both,
