Summer resident in restricted localities, such as the Grand and Licking Reservoirs, and the major streams draining into the Ohio. Casual elsewhere. PRE-EMINENT in a galaxy of beauties is this truly "golden" Warbler of the swamps. He does not come over hill and dale with a rush and flutter of wings and a nervous anxiety to get on, such as characterizes most of the northern migrants, but proceeds rather in leisurely fashion along the valleys of the larger streams. Sedate in movement and fearless, but not bold, in bear- ing, this rare bird appears to bring with him something of the languorous air of the South-land from which he hails.

Field of Gran- licking county, ohio. ville found it breeding at several places about the Licking Reservoir, where I also had the pleasure of studying it, both at that time and during the season of 1903. On the 28th of' April, 1902, I observed a male on the banks of the Olentangy near Columbus, and again two days later. As one walks along that portion of the containing levee of Licking Reser- voir shown in our first illustration, a glance to the right discovers only the lapping waves and the rough rubble of the levee, but at the left the gaze fal
