BIRDS OF THE BAHAMA ISLANDS.

This pretty little Warbler is very abundant during the winter 
months. Dr. Bryant states, in “ Proceedings Boston Society Natural 
History,” Vol. IX., “ During the winter and early spring this bird 
was extremely abundant, but confined almost entirely to the neigh- 
borhood of the sea-coast. Its habits are decidedly terrestrial, and it 
approaches, in this respect, very nearly to the Titlarks. They were 
constantly running along the edge of the road, or else hopping 
among the low shrubs in the pastures. I did not see a single indi- 
vidual seeking for food amidst the large trees, although we found 
it abundant everywhere.” 
I obtained most of my specimens among the pines in the interior 
of the island. By April 1 5 all had left, and very few remain until 
that date.
