FAUNA OF THE ALEUTIAN ISLANDS AND ALASKA PENINSULA 229 



Family SYLVIIDAE 



Phylloscopus borealis: Arctic Warbler 

 Phylloscopus borealis kennicotti 



Osgood (1904) obtained two specimens of this bird near 

 Iliamna Village, and he records a specimen taken by McKay 

 near Aleknegik River on August 24, 1881. Two specimens were 

 taken by J. W. Johnson at Nushagak on June 19, 1884, and Hanna 

 obtained a specimen at Lake Aleknegik on July 2, 1911. 



On July 19, 1940, Gabrielson saw 3 of these birds at Brooks 

 Lake and collected 1 of them, and he obtained another at Dilling- 

 ham. 



According to Parkes and Amadon (1948), the Kennicott arctic 

 warbler "winters commonly in the Philippine Islands and spar- 

 ingly in the Indo-Chinese countries, Malaysia and the East Indies 

 east to the Moluccas; known to migrate through eastern China 

 (Shantung, Yunnan)." 



Regulus satrapa: Golden-crowned Kinglet 

 Regulus satrapa amoenus 



A number of specimens are in the National Museum that were 

 collected by Bischoff and Townsend on Kodiak Island. Gabriel- 

 son noted the species on Afognak in 1940, and he found it to be 

 common on Kodiak Island in the winters of 1941 to 1944, where 

 he collected two specimens. 



This bird could be expected in the wooded parts of Alaska 

 Peninsula, but Osgood did not record it, except for the Cook 

 Inlet region, where he found it "moderately common." A study 

 of this species by Aldrich (manuscript notes) indicates that 

 birds of this region are referable to amoenus, and that olivaceus 

 is restricted to the narrow coastal strip from Sitka, Alaska to 

 Oregon. 



Regulus calendula: Ruby-crowned Kinglet 

 Regulus calendula calendula 



Osgood (1901) mentions a male taken by Bischoff at Fort 

 Kenai, and remarks that "Examination of this specimen does 

 not show any characters that approach those of Regulus calendula 

 grinnelli, which is found on the coast only a short distance 

 farther south." 



We heard one singing at Port Chatham, Kenai Peninsula, on 

 May 6, 1936, but we saw none west of there, nor did Osgood
