ern province; in Ecuador at Guayaquil" and Esmeraldas* on the west 

 coast, and at Archidona^ and Sarayacu^ in the central part near the 

 foot of the eastern Andes, also at La Concepcion ^ and Valle del Chota*/ 

 in northern Brazil on the Rio Tacutu,-^ and in the valley of the Ama- 

 zon;^ in Dutch Guiana*/^ in French Guiana at Cayenne;^ in British 

 Guiana at Georgetown,'^' Bartica Grove, ^ and the River Berbice;^ in 

 Venezuela^ at Carupano,"^ and on the south side of Lake Valencia;" on 

 the island of Trinidad;^ and at many localities in the valleys of the 

 Orinoco and Caura^^ rivers. Most of these places are near the coast 

 and of little altitude, hut the captures in eastern Peru and central 

 Ecuador show that the species passes far into the interior, though not 

 to the greater altitudes. In the State of Colombia, where the bird is 

 common in winter, it ranges somewhat higher. It is abundant on the 

 coast at Bpnda,^ and has been taken in the Santa Marta region at 

 Minca'" (2,000 feet) and Santa Marta.' It has also been secured in the 

 interior at Bucaramanga^ (3,000feet), Ocana^^ (3,700 feet), and Medellin^ 

 (5,000 feet). Specimens occur in many of the Bogota^'' collections, but 

 are not accompanied with information showing the altitudes at which 

 they were taken. The yellow warbler is one of the commonest species 

 of Central America-^ in winter, and occurs on both coasts and in the 

 interior up to an altitude of 4,000-6,000 feet. It also occurs in winter in
