39. D. striata —Black-Poll Warbler— Very common from (lie 10th to 
the 20th of May—Breeds here.

Little more known of it. 
41. D. blackburnise— Blackburnian Wahbler — Rather a common mi¬ 
grant and breeds here. 
42. D. pennsylvanica — Chestnut-sided Warbler —Quite common— 
Nests have frequently been obtained.

have seen no nests, but have no doubt as to its breeding here. 
44. D. tigrina — Cape May Warbler —Very common in migration.

seen on the western borders of the State and in Dakota along the

observed localities.
