12 A PEELIMINARY LIST OF THE 



76. Black-throated blue Warbier (Dendrceca ccerulescens, 



Linn.). 

 Transient ; common, Nelson County (Beckham). 



77. Summer Yellow Bird (Dendrceca cestiva, Gmelin. 



Summer resident. Frequent. 



78. Cape May Warbier (Dendrceca tigrina, Gmelin). 



Transient. Rare in Nelson County (Beckham). 



79. Dendrceca carbonata, Audubon. 



Two specimens of this were killed by Audubon 

 at Henderson, Ky., May, 1811. The species has 

 not been collected since and ornithologists are in 

 doubt as to its status. Audubon's account of the 

 bird reads as follows : "I shot the two little birds, 

 here represented, near the village of Henderson in 

 the State of Kentucky, in May, 1811. They were 

 both busily engaged in searching for insects along 

 the branches and amongst the leaves of a dogwood 

 tree. Their motions were those common to all 

 the species of the genus. On examination they 

 were found to be both males. I am of the opinion 

 that they were each young birds of the preceding 

 year, and not in füll plumage, as they had no part 

 of their dress seemingly complete, excepting the 

 head. Not having met with an}' other individuals 

 of the species, I am at this moment unable to say 

 anything more about them. They were drawn like 

 almost all other birds which I have represented, 

 immediately after being killed." 



80. Parula Warbier (Compsothlypis americana, Linn.). 



Rather common during the fall migrations. A 

 common summer resident in Nelson County 

 (Beckham). 



81. Nashville Warbier (Helmintliojpliila rußcapilla, Wil- 



son).
