CATALOGUE OF CANADIAN BIRDS. 669 



Vol. V.) A very common warbler about Lansdowne, Leeds county, 

 Ont., where after the yellow warbler it is the most frequently seen 

 of all others. I have found its nest several times, usually built in 

 long grass and brush a little above the ground, sometimes as much 

 as twelve inches. I have seen eggs in May, June and July. This 

 species was also common on the borders of a marsh on Amherst 

 island, Lake Ontario. {Rev. C. J. Young.) Regular migrant at 

 Toronto, Ont., common; rare summer resident. A fairly common 

 summer resident in Parry Sound and Muskoka districts; arrives 

 about the same time as the mourning warbler. (/. H. Fleming.) 

 Only one individual observed on Moose river, near Moose Factory, 

 June 7th, 1896; not common in Algonquin Park, Ont.; found 

 in low wet ground amongst grass and low bushes. Saw a nest 

 with four young about a week old in a clump of grass in a marsh 

 on June 26th, 1900. (Spreadborough.) Generally abundant about 

 Toronto. I have found it in great abundance in all suitable places 

 near Peterborough, Ont. (/. Hughes-Samuel.) Common summer 

 resident at Guelph, Ont. Arrives about May loth and leaves about 

 September i6th. (A. B. Klugh.) 



Observed at Pembina, on Turtle mountain, and in the Rocky 

 mountains, but not in the open country between these points. 

 {Coues.) An abundant summer resident in the wooded portions of 

 Manitoba; the Maryland yellowthroat is an abundant resident at 

 Duck mountain, Man. ; its favourite haunts are low damp thickets, 

 so that it is in a measure the complementary species of the mourn- 

 ing warbler, which manifests a liking for none but the driest of 

 copses. {E. T. Seton.) This is a common breeding summer 

 resident at Aweme, Manitoba; arrives about May 20th and stays 

 to September. {C riddle.) Regular and tolerably common migrant 

 in Manitoba, breeding in suitable scrub and bush localities. {Atkin- 

 son.) This is a summer resident at Indian Head, Sask. ; it was 

 first seen May 21st, 1892, and became common in a few days; they 

 breed in considerable numbers, nesting in rushes about a foot from 

 the ground on the edge of small lakes; first seen at Medicine Hat, 

 Sask., May 15th, 1894, they never became common; late in June 

 the same year they were very common in all the willow thickets 

 bordering the upper branches of Swift Current creek in the east end 

 of the Cypress hills; one specimen was shot at 12-Mile lake, near 

 Wood mountain, Sask., June 6th, 1895; later in the month it was
