23. Protonotaria citrea, Bd. Prothonotary Warbler. — A not 
uncommon summer resident in marshy localities on Spring Creek and 
in Ford Bend County in the Brazos bottom, where so-called lakes are 
abundant. It breeds in hollows of trees, deserted Woodpeckers’ holes, 
and in stumps standing in the water. I usually met with this bird in 
localities where the Little Blue Heron (. Florida cce ruled) and the Snowy 
Heron ( Garzetta candidissima ) were common. I can add nothing to 
the unsurpassable life-history of this bird given by Mr. William Brewster 
in this Bulletin. Vol. Ill, pp. 153-162. 
24. Helmintlierus vermivorus, Bon. Worm-eating Swamp War- 
bler. — A few seen April 6, 1881, in a flowering plum tree in a city-garden. 
25. Helminthophaga chrysoptera, Cab. Blue-winged Yellow 
Warbler. — Common during the migrations, in October and April. 
26. Helminthophaga peregrina, Cab. Tennessee Warbler. — Not 
uncommon during migrations. 
27. Helminthophaga celata, Bd. Orange-crowned Warbler. 
Seen only during migrations and very rare. 
28. Dendrceca aestiva, Bd. Summer Yellow Bird. — Very abun- 
dant during migrations. Not a very common summer sojourner, but 
quite regularly distributed. 
29. Dendrceca coronata, Gray. Yellow-rumped Warbler. — The 
most common of all the Warblers from November to April. Winters 
abundantly in this region and numbers visit the gardens, even those in 
the interior of the city. 
30. Dendrceca maculosa, Bd. Black-and-yellow Warbler, and 
31. Dendroeca blackburniae, Bd. Blackburnian Warbler, are 
both, so far as I observed, exceedingly rare during migrations, 
32. Dendrceca pennsylvanica, Bd. Chestnut-sided Warbler. 
— Somewhat common in the latter part of April and early in May. 
33. Dendrceca castanea, Bd. Bay-breasted Warbler. — This 
elegant Warbler is one of the most common of its family during the 
spring migration. I observed small flocks of from eight to ten so late as 
May 5. 
34. Dendroeca striata, Bd. Black-poll Warbler. — Transient; 
arrives from winter quarters late in April, when the host of Warblers 
pass northward. Tolerably common. 
35. Dendroeca virens, Bd. Black-throated Green Warbler. — 
Abundant during migrations. Moves in flocks of from four to ten. 
36. Dendrceca dominica albilora, Ridg. Yellow-throated War- 
bler. — A very rare summer resident and very difficult to observe in the 
high moss-grown forest trees of the' river bottoms. The song resembles 
that of Dendrceca cestiva , but is louder and more varied. I think it is 
almost impossible to discover a nest of this bird in the high trees, 
so densely covered with Tillandsia. 
37. Dendrceca pinus. Bd. Pine Warbler. — Winters in small com- 
panies in the woods in the northern part of Harris County, near Spring 
Creek.
