WARBLER. 187 



The female is very pale ash-colour, with some dusky streaks 

 down the back, and a few on each side of the throat ; the rest of the 

 under parts white ; the crown is not black ; wings and tail as in the 

 male, but the bars on the wings less conspicuous, and the spot at 

 the tips of the tail feathers smaller; legs very pale red, or dirty 

 orange. The young male is very like the female. 



Inhabits Newfoundland and New York, in summer ; appears in 

 May, and goes away in August ; except in breeding time is solitary. 

 Called at New York, Sailor, perhaps from the singularity of outward 

 habit. Nest unknown. Seen also in Georgia, the latter end of 

 April; most common in the lower parts of the country.
