berries and the buds of the Camelia (Camelia Japo- 

 niea). The range of the individuals was restricted 

 and they were found singly or in pairs. They were 

 exceedingly wary. At night they roosted alone in 

 low bushes. 



CARDINAL. Although the male and female both 

 fed on my rice, yet they never did so 

 together. The female was observed giving the song 

 of the species. The "chip" call note is given either 

 while perched or on the wing. 



PINE WARBLER. The first dates on which I heard 



these birds in song were : Feb- 

 ruary 19, 1912; January 22, 1913; January 27, 1914; 

 and January 31, 1915. During 1915 it was not until 

 February 14 that the song of the Pine Warbler be- 

 came a common sound, even though the first bird had 

 been heard over two weeks earlier. Besides their song 

 thejr have a sharp "chip" and a note similar to that of 

 tile Myrtle and the Yellow Palm. A great part of 

 the time the Pine Warblers are on the ground, but 

 they are also found from low bushes to the tops of the 

 highest trees. The}'- are very tame and can easily be 

 approached to within a couple of feet. There are two 

 distinct songs, one being far less sweet and more 

 broken. Furthermore, the latter is not a steady rise. 

 The amount of streaking on the underparts of this 

 species varies greatly, some being not at all streaked, 

 as far as I could see, while others were as heavily 

 streaked on the breast as the Ovenbird. The female 

 was seen carrying nesting materials on March 20th.
