THE INTRODUCTION treats of the General Characters, Plumages, Distribu-tion, Migration, Songs, Nesting Habits, Food andMortality of Warblers. THE BIOGRAPHIES average about five pages for each species, and containsections on distinguishing characters, plumages, range,migration, haunts and general habits, songs, nesting-site, nest, eggs, nesting dates, together with referencesto pertinent literature. The contribution by many ornithologists through-out the country of much before unpublished material,and the inclusion of all the more important informa-tion relating to North American Warblers whichhas heretofore appeared, make this book a compre-hensive monograph, useful alike for identificationand for the study of habits.
