hattan, Kans., where four birds were seen January 24. No more were 
seen there for three months. 
In the spring of 1885 the first migrant was noted at San Antonio, 
Tex., February 27; at Gainesville, Tex., March 23, and at Saint Louis, 
Mo., April 8. The remaining notes are too irregular to be systema- 
tized. April 16 the bulk reached Saint Louis; April 18 the first came 
in large numbers to Newton, Iowa, and Lanesboro, Minn. April 3 they 
appeared at Minneapolis, Minn., and Elk River, Minn., while they did 
not reach Shell River, Manitoba, till the last day of the month. At 
Bonham, Tex., the last was seen April 15; at Houma, La., April 20; 
Pierce City, Mo., May 6; Saint Louis, Mo., May 12; Manhattan, Kans., 
May 16. Except a single record from Waukon, Iowa, May 19, none 
were reported from Iowa, Minnesota, or Wisconsin after May 16, and 
most of the Yellow rumps left these States May 11. 
In the fall of 1885 the Yellow-rumped Warbler re-appeared at Elk 
River, Minn., September 20; at River Falls, Wis., September 29; 
Lanesboro, Minn., September 29; Iowa City, Iowa, October 1; Fern- 
wood, Ill, October 5; Mount Carmel, Mo., October 4; Saint Louis, Mo., 
October 5, and Gainesville, Tex., November 13. Thus its record west 
of the Mississippi River was very regular. The last were seen at Elk 
River, Minn., October 7; River Falls, Wis., October 13; Lanesboro, 
Minn., October 18; Iowa City, Iowa, October 12; Fernwood, IIl., Oc- 
tober 14; Des Moines, Iowa, October 24; Mount Carmel, Mo., November 
11, and on the latter date the last transients were seen at Saint Louis, 
Their period of greatest abundance at Saint Louis was from October 9 to 
October 26. Mr. Lloyd gives it as a spring migrant in Tom Green and 
Concho Counties, Tex., while in southeastern Texas it is an abundant 
winter resident (Nehrling), as it is at Boerne (Brown). 
656. Dendroica auduboni (Towns.). [96.] Audubon’s Warbler. 
This Warbler, which is the western representative of the Yellow- 
rump, migrates along the western border of the district from its winter 
home in Mexico and southward. Oolonel Goss, in his Catalogue of the 
Birds of Kansas, mentions it as a not uncommon migrant in the west- 
ern part of that State. In the spring of 1884 it was taken at San An- 
gelo, Tex., May 3. Mr. Lloyd states that it isa tolerably common 
spring and fall migrant in Tom Green and Concho Counties, Tex., where 
he has killed it as late as October 20 (1886). 
In the spring of 1885 San Angelo, Tex., was the only station that re- 
ported the migration of Audubon’s Warbler. It was first noticed May 3. 
In the fall of 1885 it appeared at San Angelo, October 1. Mr. Lloyd 
found this species common, November 3, at Fort Davis, Tex. 
657. Dendroica maculosa (Gmel.). [97.] Magnolia Warbler; Black and Yellow 
Warbler. 
This Warbler may breed in northern Minnesota, but no nests have 
been found, and the bulk crosses the linc. It isarapid migrant. Rush-
