Dendroica tigrina.— At Canaisee Village, Sept. 12, 1894, a Warbler of 

 rather obscure markings was t.aken in the edge of a little grove of trees 

 which stands back but a few yards from the salt-grass meadows. This 

 and a male Black-throated I'.hic W'arliler were seen in the lower branches 

 of a thickly foliaged tree o^■erhanging a heavy undergrowth of blackberry 

 brambles and ta41 weeds. It was rather carelessly labeled as a Magnolia 

 Warbler, which, of course, it does not in the least resemble. It was 

 rediscovered and my diagnosis of it as the Cape May Warbler was kindlv 

 verified by Mr. Chapman. The specimen is an adult female.

Cape May Warbler at Shelter Island, New York.— While collecting 

 ; birds here on May 11, 1893, I secured a fine male Cape May Warbler. It 

 j was leisurely searching for insects in an oak grove on the very highest 

 point on the island, and showed no alarm at my presence. It came in a 

 I 'bird wave' consisting of Warblers, Orioles, Chimney Swifts, Bobolinks, 

 and Thrushes, which came on in numbers on that date or during the 

 night previous.— W. W. Worthington, Skelter Island Heights, New

Cape May Warblers Destructive to Grapes on Long Island. — With 

 much interest I read of the actions of the Cape May Warbler {Dendroica 

 lignna in recent numbers of 'The Auk.' These warblers were especially 

 abundant here last fall and there were twenty or more on our place from 

 September 20 to October 10. They might be found at all hours of the day 

 in the grape arbor, where they were observed to puncture the grape skins 

 with their bills and drain out the juice. — Ja.\ies W. Lane, Jk., St. James,
