Dendrceca coronata (Linn.). 
I noticed several bands of these birds feeding in the recent 
clearings, and shot one or two specimens. I have also seen 
many of them on the Grand Cayman Island. This species 
is a winter visitor from North America, 
Dendrceca dominica (Linn.). 
I shot a male example of this Yellow-throated Warbler. 
It was the only example that I saw. It is a winter resident 
or straggler. 
Dendrceca vitellina Cory. 
Dendroica vitellina Cory, Auk, iii. 1886, pp. 497, 501. 
I obtained a series of thirteen of these little Warblers, 
which are peculiar to these islands and the Grand Cayman. 
It consists of adult males and females, and also of individuals 
in various stages of immature plumage. The bird is very 
abundant on both the Swan Islands and is extremely 
tame. 
It differs from D. discolor in being larger and in lacking 
the chestnut spots on the back. The broad black streaks 
along the sides of the breast and flanks which are so 
conspicuous in D. discolor are either entirely absent or are 
only faintly indicated by dusky streaks. It is incorrect, as 
Mr. Ridgway states / Birds of North and Middle America/ 
part ii. p. 610), to say that they are always absent, for in 
some specimens which I have obtained, both on these islands 
and the Grand Cayman, the faint dusky lines are easily 
observed. 
I have compared examples from the Swan Islands with my 
birds obtained on the Grand Cayman and also with those 
which Mr. Nicoll obtained on the same island, and they 
appear to me to be identical. They also differ from specimens 
which I obtained on the Little Cayman (D. craivfordi Nicoll) 
in the points which Mr. Nicoll has already indicated. 
D. vitellina would seem to be a well-marked and very 
constant species. According to Mr. Ridgway Birds of 
North and Middle America/ vol. ii. p. 610) the under parts
