EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT. 
11. [Dendroeca restiva, ( Gm) Bd. Yellow Warbler.—Several noted at 
Duluth in July, 1877.] 
12. Dendroeca virens, (Gm) Bd. Black-tliroated Green Warbler.—Grand 
Marais ; two specimens taken July 28 and Aug. 13. [Duluth, July 16, ’77.] 
13. Dendroeca coerulescens, (Linn) Bd. Black-throated Blue Warbler.— 
Two males taken at Poplar River, Aug. 6. From the anxiety displayed by 
one of these it seemed that the young were still under the care of the 
parents. The second male was in full song. 
14. Dendroeca coronata, (Linn) Gray. Yellow-rumped Warbler.—Com¬ 
mon at Devil’s Track Lake, Aug. 16-18. Three specimens (young) taken 
the 16th. 
15. Dendroeca blackburnise, (Gm.) Bd. Blackburnian Warbler. A female 
accompanied by her brood of young was found on Aug. 10 among the dense 
underbrush of an old clearing at Grand Marais. They kept close to the 
ground, chirping constantly, and were very difficult to start from their place 
of concealment. Two of these were secured. Devil’s Track Lake, Aug. 18. 
16. Dendroeca striata, (Forst.) Bd. Black-poll Warbler.—Beaver Bay, 
Aug. 27, ’79 (a young bird). 
17. Dendoeca castanea, (Wils.) Bd. Bay-breasted Warbler.—Devil’s 
Track Lake, Aug. 16. Seen also at Black Point Aug. 24. 
18. Dendroeca maculosa (Gm.) Bd. Black and Yellow Warbler.—Com¬ 
mon. Found in small companies during the first part of August, the broods 
having not yet broken up. Moulting at this time. Devil’s Track Lake, 
Aug. 16. Beaver Bay, Aug. 27. 
19. Dendroeca palmarum, (Gm.) Bd. Yellow-red-poll Warbler.—Appar¬ 
ently not common. Beaver Bay, Aug. 27. 
20. Dendroeca tigrina, (Gm.) Bd. Cape May Warbler.—Taken at Grand 
Marais, Aug. 13, and believed to have been seen at Devil’s Track Lake, 
Aug. 16. 
21. [Siurus auricapillus, (Linn.) Sw. Golden-crowned Thrush.—Several 
noted at Duluth in July, ’77.] 
22. Siurus nsevius, (Bodd.) Coues. Small-billed Water Thrush.—Common 
at Devil’s Track Lake. A thick growth of evergreens and birches, growing 
close to the water’s edge and projecting out low over the water for a number 
■of feet, formed a most congenial haunt for this bird. Though so late in the 
season (Aug. 15-18) they were uttering their ringing, emphatic song with 
seemingly all the vigor of spring. They sang chiefly in the morning, from 
daylight until eight or nine o’clock, and then again for a short time in the 
evening. As stated by several authors, the song bears a striking resem¬ 
blance to that of the Mourning Warbler (Geothlypis Philadelphia). Seen on 
the lake shore only at Black Point, Aug. 24. 
23. Geotlilypis trichas, (Linn.) Cab. Maryland Yellow-throat.—Seen 
only once, near Stewart river, Aug. 30. [Common at Duluth, in July, ’77.] 
24. Geothlypis Philadelphia, ( Wils.) Bd. Mourning Warbler.—Common 
about Duluth in July, 1877. The following extract from a paper contributed 
by the writer to the Linnean Society of New York City, in February, 1879, 
may be of interest in this connection. In the vicinity of Minneapolis it 
[G. Philadelphia ] has been met with very rarely and only during the migra¬ 
tions. Its capture, several years ago, by Dr. P. L. Hatch and Mr. W. L. 
'Tiffany; the taking of two males on May 18, 1877, by Mr. R. S. Williams,
