that the bird in that region confines itself to the pine woods, the summer home of, 

 the Pine Warbler, Dendroica vigorsii. Both nests found were suspended from the 

 limbs of pines and were less than a hundred yards apart. One contained three, the 

 other four eggs. The nests were similar in composition to that of Mr. Brewster's, 

 except that they lack the sheep's wool on the exterior.

 in the same vicinity), in that the latter is lined with wool, while the Black-cap's is 

 not. The late Colonel N. S. Goss gives the Black-capped Vireo as a summer resident 

 in the gypsum hills in Southwestern Kansas. He found it breeding plentifully in 

 Comanche county. According to the observations of those who have found this
