THE WILSON BULLETIN— December, 1922 
the Wilson Bulletin have not been due to any noticeable ebb and 
flow of enthusiasm in the Club. 
It now appears evident that the critical times for the Wilson 
Club are all in the past and that it is now recognized by the 
best ornithologists as a strong factor in the advancement of the 
scientific study of birds. A piece of evidence of its good stand- 
ing is the present meeting in Chicago with other important 
associations including the American Ornithologists Union. 
As an officer of the Wilson Ornithological Club, may I close 
this address with its hearty welcome to the American Ornitliol- 
ogists Union and with the assurance of the pleasure that all the 
members feel from the Club’s being one of your hosts here at

LIST OF WARBLERS OF CLARENDON COUNTY, 
SOUTH CAROLINA 
BY E. VON S. DINGLE 
So far as I know, twenty-two species of Warblers occur here 
(Clarendon County, Central South Carolina), and of these, ten 
have been found to breed. The list is as follows: 
1. Black and White Warbler ( Mniotilta voria ) . 
Transient visitant; the earliest records for its arrival are 
March 29, 1920, and March 20, 1921. It remains until in May, 
the latest being May 12, 1908. On the return migration (fall), 
the earliest is July 2, 1909, and the latest record is October 23, 
1909. 
2. Prothonotary Warbler ( Protonotaria citrea) . 
Common summer resident; breeds commonly. It arrives about 
the middle of April and I have never seen it after August 19. On 
June 7, 1919, a nest was found containing live young, nearly ready 
to leave. The nest, made of cypress leaves, was built in the 
natural hollow of a small tree, and was eight feet up. On June 
19, 1919, a nest containing three eggs was found; the female 
was incubating. It was one and a half feet up. 
3. Swainson’s Warbler (Rdinaia sicamsoni ) . 
Very local summer resident; it is found in heavily timbered 
swamps where the cane grows in abundance. A nest and three 
eggs were found on June 10, 1921; the bird was incubating and 
would not leave until I touched her.
