Tricwas AGiIuis, Wilson. 
Not uncommon. I shot a pair on the 29th of May ; they had mated, and were 
about to nest. 
Tricuas PHILADELPHIA, Wilson. 
Rarely seen. Shot one May 10, 1851. 
*®VERMIVORA PENNSYLVANICA, Swain. 
A few nest in this section. Rare. 
VERMIVORA CHRYSOPTERA, Linz. 
Not uncommon for a few daysin May. Go north. 
VERMIVORA RUBRIGAPILLA, Wilson. 
Common for two weeks in May on their passage north: they return in Octo- 
ber, at which time the male is without the chestnut crown. 
*VERMIVORA CELATA, Say. 
Not an uncommon species. Frequent the most secluded swamps, where they 
nest. 
VERMIVORA PEREGRINA, Walson. 
Some seasons, about the middle of May, this plain bird is met with in great 
abundance. This was particularly the case May 14, 15 and 16, 1849, when I 
could have procured any desired number; they literally thronged on the tops of 
the bush oaks in an adjoining grove. For the last two years I have not pro- 
cured a single specimen. 
*MNIoTILTA VARIA, Veevdd. 
Common. 
MnioTILtTaA BOREALIS, Nwtt.? 
I have met with specimens that answered to Nuttall’s description, yet 1 am 
inclined to consider it a variety of the preceding. 
In order to give some idea of the abundance and great variety of the warblers 
which visit us, I append a list shot in the forenoon of May 5th, 1852, by Rev. 
A. C. Barry and myself: “i 
6 Sylvicola americana, Sylvicola estiva, 
1 
1 << pinuss 4 56 canadensis, 
1 é< striata, il 66 petechia, 
5 “é icterocephala, 4 SG maritima, 
4 “6 virens, 1 Setophagia canadensis, 
6 sf Blackburnia, 2 Vermivora rubricapilla, 
5 < maculosa, 2 Trichas marylandica, 
1 é coronata, 3 Mniotilta varia, 
47. 
All, except three, males in unusually fine plumage, the females not having yet 
arrived. 
We could ,have obtained many more of most of the species, had it been 
desirable. 
*TROGLODYTES DON, Viezdl. 
Common. First appearance 15th of April. 
*TROGLODYTES HYEMALIS, Veevdl. 
Common. Nest in abundance on the shores of Lake Superior. 
*TROGLODYTES BREVIROSTRIS, Vwit. 
A few nest in the vicinity of Racine. Not abundant. 
*TROGLODYTES PALUSTRIS, Wilson. 
Abundant on all our reedy flats.
