146 Ross on the Mammals ^ Birds, arid Eggs 



Family BoMBYCiLLiDiE3. 



Genus Ampelis. 

 1*61. Ampelis garrulus, (Linn.) — Wax-wing. North to Youcon River, 

 Not rare. An egg of this bird has been obtained on the 

 Youcon, by Mr. R. Kennicott. I have been informed by 

 Mr. John Hope, a schoolmaster of the Church Mission- 

 ary Society, resident at Fort Franklin on Bear Lake, 

 that these birds build in numbers in that vicinity ; but 

 so high up the trees as to render it a difficult task 

 to obtain the eggs. A specimen was shot in February 

 at Fort Liards, which causes me to mark the species as 

 a winter resident.
