94 The Ottawa Naturalist [Sept. 



56. Wilson's Warbler. Common and observed wher- 

 ever we pitched our camp. 



57. Canadian Warbler. Fairly common in the spruce 

 woods. 



58. Winter Wren. Heard this species singing all day 

 long in damp evergreen woods. 



59. Red-breasted Nuthatch. Saw several in the mount- 

 ainous country, where they were breeding. 



60. Chickadee. Common all over the country. 



61. Ruby-crowned Kinglet. Very abundant. This 

 species, like Passer ella iliaca, is a very interesting one and a 

 delightful singer. For such a small frame the bird has extra- 

 ordinary powers of song, and from the tops of stunted spruce he 

 can be heard at all hours of the day. On June 4th a nest with 

 four fresh eggs was found. On June 9th, 15th and 28th, three 

 others of nine eggs each, respectively, were discovered, all the 

 nests being suspended from the branches of stunted spruce 

 trees. They were built of moss, fine strips of bark and heavily 

 lined with feathers of various birds. 



62. Wilson's Thrush. Not as common as the following 

 species, but a few specimens were seen at different points. 



63. Hermit Thrush. Abundant. A nest found on June 

 4th, contained three fresh eggs. Several other nests were 

 located later in the month. Another wonderful singer. It 

 was worth while making the trip just to hear the present species, 

 the White-throated Sparrow, the Fox Sparrow and Ruby- 

 crowned Kinglet in their favorite songs. 



64. Robin. Abundant everywhere, nesting commonly 

 the first week in June. 



Our party consisted of Mr. E. Arnold, Montreal; H. W. 

 Beers, Bridgeport, Conn, and the writer. We are all looking 

 forward to a return visit next year. 



THE ALGAE OF THE BRUCE PENINSULA. 



By A. B. Klugh, M.A., 

 (Botanical Department, Queen's University, Kingston, Ont.) 



The Bruce Peninsula lies between Lake Huron and Georgian 

 Bay in Ontario. The Peninsula consists of limestone which forms 

 high cliffs on the Georgian Bay shore, while the Lake Huron 

 shore of the lower part of the Peninsula is low and sandy with 

 some limestone points. 



Algal habitats are abundant on the Peninsula. In addition 

 to the shores of Georgian Bay and Lake Huron there are several
