although they did not show particular fear. One or two spec- 

 imens became quite tame and gave us an opportunity to study 

 them closely. They were of more than ordinary interest on 

 account of their shyness. One specimen taken Jul}^ 9. 



Dendroica aestiva rubiginosa (Pallas). Alaska Yellow Warbler. 



We did not see a great many warblers in Alaska, although we 

 did not procure all the species we observed. This one was often 

 seen in the wooded areas near camp on Katmai Bay, and it 

 most likely nested but the nest was not found. Specimen 

 taken July 12. 



Wilsonia pusilla piliolata (Pallas). Piliolated Warbler. 



This was the most plentiful warbler of the locality. Many 

 pairs were seen in the wooded areas near base camp, and there 

 was every indication that they were nesting although the nest 

 was not observed. Specimens taken July 12 and 23. 



Anthus spinoletta rubescens (Tunstall.) Pipit. 



Not noted until about the first of August when many spec- 

 imens were observed on the dry sandy beaches that occurred in 

 places along Katmai and Kashvik Bays. The species continued 

 to be common during the remainder of our stay in the locality 

 and I became much interested in observing it as we came and 

 went about our daily affairs. It has a characteristic note which 

 it gives regularly and which makes its determination easy for 

 one who learns to know it. Specimens taken August 10. 



Penthestes atricapillus turner! (Ridgeway). Yukon Chickadee. 



Flocks of this species appeared in the wooded areas about 

 base camp just before the middle of July. It reminds one much 

 of the Chickadee of Ohio and I felt that I was within hearing 

 distance of an old acquaintance when I first heard its notes. 

 The birds were molting in July and many of them appeared 

 much worn. Specimens were taken July 12. 



Hylocichla guttata (Pallas) Alaska Hermit Thrush. 



We did not observe this bird often and do not consider that 

 it was common in the region. A specimen was taken July 25, at 

 the extreme east end of Katmai Bay in a very wild locality where 

 evidences of bears and wild animal life were abundant. I take 

 it that the species nested here although the nest was not observed.
