DENDRCECA PENN SYLVAN 1C A— Chestnut-sided Warbler* 
The Chestnut-sided Warbler arrives in the vicinity of Cleveland about the first of May, and remains 
until the last of September, or the first of October. During its migrations it is more plentiful than in 
the summer, being quite common in the fall in some localities. It builds its nest about the first of 
.Tune, and rears but a single brood during the season. 
LOCALITY: 
It frequents the saplings and underbrush of retired woods, and the bushes and weeds among the 
tall timber along the banks of streams. It prefers damp soil, but is often found in dry upland woods. 
As a - site for a nest it generally selects a bush or low sapling in a thicket, about the border of the timber- 
land where it makes its home; but occasionally a similar position is chosen in the interior of the woods. 
The hazel bushes which abound in many parts of the State furnish favorite situations for the nest, 
POSITION : 
The site is commonly a fork, formed by two or more slender twigs, either twigs from tlie same stem 
or branches which accidentally cross each other. In such a crotch, about three or four feet from the ground, 
and well concealed by thickly clustered leaves, the materials are carried which are dexterously worked 
into one of the most beautiful ami «uW»T,+; a i specimens of woodland architecture. 
NOTICE. 
Three more parts, making m all twenty-three, will complete the publication of the “Nests 
and Eggs of the Birds of Ohio.” The plates for these are nearly all printed, and only as 
much time will be consumed in finishing the hook as the coloring of the plates and the print- 
ing of the text require. If no unexpected delays occur, the twenty-third, and last part, will 
be issued about the first of January, 1886. 
When completed the volume will contain sixty-nine plates, representing one hundred 
and twenty-seven species of eggs, sixty-five species of nests, and about four hundred pages of 
reading matter, many pages of which will be devoted to the general subject of oology, and a 
suitable amount to embryology. 
In order that this book may be properly bound, the authors will make arrangements with 
a competent and reliable house, so that the best binding, at a reasonable price, may be 
obtained. With the last part full information will be given.
