 Hab. — Eastern United States. North rarely to Massachusetts, beyond which no 



record. West to Kansas and Indian Territory. Eastern Mexico and Central America 



(Cordova, ScL, P. Z. S. 1856, 291 ; Guatemala, Scl., Ibis, i, 11). No West Indian record. 

 With a range nearly coincident with that of the last species, the present may be, 



mentioned in the same terms. 



The Blue-winged Yellow Warbler was found by Mr. Eidgway breed- 

 ing at Mount Carmel, Illinois, where a nest containing five eggs was 

 discovered May 8, 1866, on the ground in a bunch of shrubbery, in the 

 corner of a field. The nest was built chiefly of fibrous strips, most of 

 them broad and coarse, and lined with fine grass stems variously inter- 

 laced. The eggs, of the usual shape, and measuring about 0.63 by 0.4S, 

 are white, sparsely sprinkled, chiefly at the great end, with blackish 

 dots, and a few others of lighter dirty brownish.
