Vou. II, Pr. 11] GIFFORD—BIRDS OF THE GALAPAGOS ISLANDS 219 
Immature birds were noticed on Champion, October 3, and 
at Black Beach Roads, Charles, October 11. On February 23, 
at Wreck Bay, Chatham, a young one just from the nest 
was taken. On the 28th in the same locality a nest con- 
taining two slightly-fledged young was found. On March 6, 
a young bird with almost white underparts was observed at 
Villamil, Albemarle. Then miles west of Villamil, Albemarle, 
two partially-fledged young were found in a nest placed 10 
feet from the ground in a bush in a mangrove swamp. I 
also saw an adult bird feeding a youngster on a limb. At 
Cape Rose, Albemarle, on March 15, I saw a young bird 
fresh from the nest. On April 4, Tagus Cove, Albemarle, I 
saw two or three in an immature cream-colored plumage. 
On April 8, a nest found in the Tagus Cove region, Albe- 
marle, contained two young about able to fly, one, in fact, 
sitting on the outside of the nest. April 10, one in pale 
cream-colored plumage was observed at Banks Bay, Albe- 
marle. In the Black Beach Roads region, Charles, on 
May 26, birds were seen in all stages from white-breasted 
immature birds to adult males. Hood, June 23, several im- 
mature birds were noted; the following day nearly all were 
immature, only a couple of adults being seen. 
On Hood in January and February, they seem to retire 
to the higher parts of the island which are green whilst the 
lower parts are still dry. Neither Mr. Hunter nor I ob- 
served any about Gardner Bay, where on our other visits 
they were fairly common; they were found only in the 
interior. 
Of all the Galapagos land birds, this warbler is met with 
most frequently away from the land. On January 12, one 
was seen flying over the water at Academy Bay, Indefatig- 
able. On May 4, when 10 miles west of Charles, one alighted 
in the rigging about 8 A. M. When 20 miles south of 
Indefatigable on May 18, a calm day, one came aboard in 
the morning. On May 23, when off west Charles, two 
investigated the vessel on the wing and then kept on their 
journey towards Albemarle. On the morning of June 6, 
when 20 miles south of Brattle, two flew about the vessel. 
On June 23, two or three miles south of Hood one passed 
the vessel. |
