 This handsome little warbler is found only on the Caribbean watershed, 



from about 1,000 up to 4,000 feet, with its zone of greatest abundance 



between 1,500 and 3,000 feet. It is found in the heavy forest as well as in 



scattering tree?, seeming to prefer, however, the margins of the forest. 



Its habits are the same as those of the common Parula Warbler of the 



United States. I was never able to find its nest.
