Icteria virens. — An adult male was found dead near one of the poles 
upon which the storm signals are hoisted at the U. S. Signal Station at 
Highland Light on the morning of September 10. As birds frequently 
kill themselves by flying against these poles during the night, it is prob- 
able that this one was so killed during the night of the gth or early 
morning of the 10th. There was a large migration of shore birds past 
Highland Light on the night of September 9, Phalaropus lobatus , Tota- 
nus meltmoleucusi T. flavipes, and Charadrius dominic/ts being common, 
while of Aclitis macula ria . Caltdris arenaria , and Oceanodroma leu- 
corrhoa one individual each was seen. Up to midnight, when I left the 
light, but one land bird, a Dendroica , probably D. striata , was seen.
