11. Dendrceca virens, Gm. — Black-throated Green Warbler. 

 Met with only about Port Hawkesbury, Cape Breton, and at 



Fox and Ellis Bays, Anticosti. At the former place it was com- 

 mon but only two or three were seen on Anticosti. 



12. Dendrceca striata, Forst. — Black-poll Warbler. 

 Decidedly the most numerous of the Warblers on the Magda- 



lens, and fairly common at Anticosti, as well as along the North 

 Shore. It was not detected at either Gaspe or Port Hawkesbury, 

 although it should occur, of course, everywhere near the coast 

 from Maine to Labrador. Among some remarkable stunted 

 spruces which cover the sand-hills near Amherst Harbor (Magda- 

 len Islands) these Warblers were in great force, and six or seven 

 males could be often heard singing at once. I searched closely 

 for nests, but although they must have been breeding at the 

 time (June 26), none were discovered. 



13. Dendrceca maculosa, Gm. — Black-and-yellow War- 

 bler. 



At both Fox and Ellis Bays, Anticosti, this beautiful Warbler 

 was more abundant than any other species of its family, outnum- 

 bering even the Black-poll in the proportion of two to one. It 

 was also ascertained to be a common bird about Port Hawkes- 

 bury, at Gaspe, and along the North Shore. Among the Magda- 

 lens, however, it was apparently rare ; a specimen observed at 

 Amherst Harbor, June 26, being the only one met with. Its 

 habits throughout this region are essentially the same as in New 

 England. It frequents thickets of young evergreens along wood 

 edges or in clearings, and is not often seen in the depths of the 

 forest. 



14. Siurus auricapillus, Linn. — Oven Bird. 



A single pair observed at Ellis Bay, Anticosti, on July 24. 



15. G-eothlypis trichas, Linn. — Maryland Yellow- throat. 

 The Maryland Yellow-throat was met with only at Fox Bay, 



Anticosti, where two specimens were seen. The note of one 

 of them, a male shot July 11, was so shrill, wiry, and altogether 

 unlike the bird's normal song that up to the moment of taking 

 him in hand I felt sure I had stumbled upon a prize or, at least, 

 something that I had never heard before. 



16. Myiodioctes pusillus, Wils. — Wilson's Black-cap. 

 Although I had expected to find this species common it was
