MARYLAND YELLOW-THROAT. 
( Sylvia triclias , Lath. Audubon, pi. 23. Orn. Biog. i. p. 121 S. ma- 
rylandica, Wilson, i. p. 88. pi. 6. fig. 1. [male.] and ii. p. 163. pi. 
18. fig. 4. [female.] Phil. Museum, No. 7282.) 
Sp. Charact. — Yellow-olive; beneath yellow; front and wide 
patch through the eye black, bounded above by whitish-grey ; 
tail cuneiform. — Female without black on the face, and beneath 
dull yellow. 
This common and familiar species extends its summer 
migrations from Florida to Nova Scotia, arriving in Penn- 
sylvania towards the middle of April, and in this part of 
New England about the first week in May. They return 
to the south in September ; a few stragglers of the young, 
however, may be seen to the first week of October, and 
though some may remain and winter in the Southern 
States, it is more probable that the main body retire at 
this season into the interior of tropical America ; as they 
were seen late in autumn, around Yera Cruz, by the nat- 
uralist and traveller Mr. Bullock. Early in the month 
of March, however, I heard this species singing in the 
forests of West Florida.
