YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER
Wintering abundantly in southern Florida and sparingly north to South Carolina, but little can be said of the migration of the Yellow-throated Warbler in the Gulf States. The northward movement begins early in March and the average date of arrival for fifteen years at Raleigh, N. C., is March 26. earliest March 13, 1890; the average at Asheville, N. C., for four years is April 21, the earliest April 13, 1893.

The last noted at Washington, D. C., was September 4, 1890; at Raleigh, N. C., September 17, 1886, and many migrants continue to pass through Florida during the whole month of October.
SYCAMORE WARBLER
This Mississippi Valley form of the Yellow~throated Warbler arrives on the north coast of the Gulf of Mexico about Nlarch to, and spends a month in moving slowly north to St. Louis, Mo. Central Indiana is reached about the middle of April, and the average date of arrival for ten years at Petersburg, Michigan. is April 21,
The southward migration begins so early that the Sycamore Warbler appears in Guatemala by the middle of August. The last do not leave Indiana and Missouri until October.
