though none were seen at Chemawawin. (Nutting.) Very abund- 

 ant between Edmonton and Athabaska Landing; more plentiful at 

 the latter place than anywhere else; only one pair seen between 

 Athabaska Landing and Lesser Slave river; none down the Atha- 

 baska to Fort McMurray, there very common; none up the Clear-

 (/. M. Macoun.) Quite common at Edmonton, Alta., first seen 

 April 1 6th, by May 6tli many were building nests and early in

 mon at Haines and Skagway, but not at Glacier. At Haines I 

 took a female and four well-incubated eggs, June 2nd. Robins
