 The Migration of Warblers 191

PAINTED REDSTART

I have no notes whatever on the migration of this species and can add to the information given in Mrs. Bailey’s ‘Handbook‘ only the statement that it extends its range to Guatemala and Honduras, and is found from 3.000 to 9,000 feet, while the lower districts and the coasts are occupied in the winter by the American Redstart.
