 sometimes not uncommon. May 8 to 19, and September 5 to 11; latest 

 spring records May 24, 1890, and May 29, 1906. Formerly one of our 

 rarest warblers; there were not more than four records between 1889 and 

 1897. Mr. J. Hughes Samuel considers the increase began in 1898, and 

 in 1900 I found them not uncommon in the city.

Abundance of the Cape May Warbler {Dendroica tigrina) around 

 Quebec. — It is surprising to note that this rare warbler has been found 

 very commonly in the woods around Quebec this spring, and even in the 

 parks of the city. Two young ornithologists, P. W. Cook and A. W. Ahern, 

 of this city, shot about fifteen, of which twelve were brought to me. They 

 met with six to eight bands of the warbler, each containing something over 

 a score of birds, and these in different localities, they seemed to be almost 

 as numerous as the Myrtle Warbler. The first specimen seen, which was 

 in company with a small flock of Black-throated Green Warblers, was shot 

 on the 9th of May and by the 18th the species was very common. The 

 last was seen on the 25th. 



It has also been noticed that many other warblers were more common 

 this spring than usually, especially the Blackburnian and Bay-breasted. —
