Throe specimens taken. The first June 3, the 
second June 4, the third June 5. The first was shot 
in the top of a tall hooch; tho second in a thicket of 
firs; the third in a small birch surrounded by firs. 
All three spocimoas wore females. Wo thought that one 
of then uttered a faint warbler-like chirp, but other¬ 
wise they were perfectly silent.

Three shot on tho Tyler 5 ath, They wore in a 
mixed flock of Warblers, Titmice, etc., in low second 
growth birch and maple. They were very tame, perfectly 
silent, and more active in motions that tho other Vireos, 
<|uite as much so indeed as any of the Warblers, Two 
of thorn when picked up still held in their bills largo 
green caterpillars. All were males and one t think an 
adult,

A Viroo hoard singing to-day was probably of this 
species, its song was most like that of the Red-eyed but 
bocogtiixably distinct an emphatic whit-tu-whit coming 
r in at regular intervals among the more warbling notes. 
I saw the bird and an sure that it was smaller than a 
Red-eye but 1 failed to secure it.
