Dendroica casrulescens.-The only Black-throated Blue Warbler met 

 with during either year was a male shot June 17, 1888. This bird was 

 smgmg steadUj m a dense growth of young hemlocks on a hillside As 

 there were no beds of yew (the favorite nesting place of this species) in 

 the neighborhood, and as we had passed several previous mornings in the 

 same woods without hearing the bird, it is probable that he had strayed 

 some distance away from his mate and nest, or that he was a bachelor 

 wandering aimlessly about the country.
