17. TENNESSEE WARBLER. {Hilminthophaga peregrina).

18. BLUE YELLOW-BACKED WARBLER. {Panda americana), 
A rare summer resident. During the fall of i88o.t\vo were 
taken at Indiantown; and on June 23, 1881, I collected one 
at Hampton. On September 30, 1881, Mr. George Thomas 
found four that had been killed by flying against the light- 
house at Point Lepreaux. 
19. SUMMER YELLOW BIRD. (Dendrosea cestiva). 
This is an abundant summer resident, and is one of the few 
species of the Sylvicotidce that is equally as numerous in the 
immediate vicinity of Saint John throughout the entire sum- 
mer as during the migrations ; for, although representatives 
of most of the other species that visit us nest in the suburbs, 
the great majority of these birds stay but a few weeks, gradu- 
ally disappearing before the first of June, and retiring inland 
some twenty miles or more, perhaps to get rid of the fog 
and continuous humid atmosphere of the coast, and to enjoy 
the higher and more constant temperature, which, even at that 
short distance, exhibits a marked difference. 
The Yellow Warblers, however, continue to make their 
homes with us year after year, building their nests in aggra- 
vating proximity to the suburban haunts of the- egg-greedy 
street gamins, who each season pillage and destroy a large 
number of these daintily made homes. 
20. BLACK-THROATED BLUE WARBLER. (Dendrceca ccerides- 
cens). 
A rare summer resident. Mr. H. A. Purdie identified the 
song of one at Hampton, June 20, 1881. Mr. Gilbert has 
collected two specimens. 
21. YELLOW-RUMP WARBLER. {Dendrceca eoronata). 
An abundant summer resident, arriving from the south 
from the 5th to the 15th of May; breeds.
