1, 2, 3. Bachmans Warbler 5. Swainsons Warbler 4. Worm-eating Warbler (From Warblers of North America.) WOOD WARBLERS 441 Nest, of rootlets, leaves, and bark, on the ground. Eggs, 4-6, white,speckled, spotted, or blotched with cinnamon- or rufous-brown, 68 x 54.Date, Iredell Co., N. C, May 10; Waynesburg, Pa., May 16; New Haven,Conn., May 25. This comparatively rare, retiring Warbler may be found on drywooded slopes, hillsides, and ravines, generally where there is a ratherdense undergrowth, but occasionally where the ground is quite clearand open. It lives on or near the ground, and in its slow, deliberateactions resembles a Vireo more than the usually active Warblers.

Ad. <f.—Forehead yellow, bordered by a black patch on the crown; back of the headbluish gray; back and rump bright olive-gre
