6o6 GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF CANADA. 



river, N.B. (Brittain & Cox.) A tolerably common suinraer 

 resident at Scotch Lake, York county, N.B. {W. H. Moore.) On 

 June 23rd, heard a male singing at Macnain cove, Cape Breton island. 

 {Brewster.) I noticed an example of this species on the Magdalen 

 islands in June ,1897, and have no doubt it breeds there. {Rev. C. 

 J. Young.) Taken at Beauport; not uncommon around Quebec. 

 {Dionne.) A rare transient visitor at Montreal. I have met with 

 only two examples of this vireo in this district. {Winile.) 



A moderately common summer visitor around Ottawa. {Ottawa 

 Naturalist, Vol. V.) Regular migrant at Toronto, Ont. Not un- 

 common in the districts of Parry Sound and Muskoka in May. 

 They probably remain to breed. (/. H. Fleming.) Not common 

 in Algonquin park, Ont. A few were seen in the spruce woods 

 near Cache lake usually well up in the tops, of the trees. {Spread- 

 borough.) Not common as a migrant, and not known to breed at 

 London, Ont. {W . E. Saunders.) A passing migrant at Guelph, 

 Ont. Not common; seen about April 30th, and again about Sept. 

 20th. {A. B. Klugh.) One (a male) taken at Oxford House, July 

 3rd, and one heard singing in a swamp bordering Knee lake July 5th. 

 {E. A. Preble.) 



One specimen of this rather rare species was secured at Pembina, 

 which is probably its northern limit. It was taken in the timber 

 of the river bottom, frequented by three other species of the same 

 genus. {Coues.) A rare summer resident in Manitoba. On June 

 loth, 1884, at Duck mountain, a solitary vireo was observed. {E. 

 T. Seton.) Fairly common at Aweme, Man., during migrations. 

 {Criddle.) Apparently a rare species in Manitoba as I have not 

 noted over half a dozen specimens in ten years and these were 

 migrants. {Atkinson.) One specimen secured at the Grand rapids 

 of the Saskatchewan. {Nutting.) First seen May nth, 1897, at 

 Edmonton, Alta., common in spruce woods by the 21st; doubtless 

 breeding; always seen in or near spruce woods; common from 

 Lesser Slave lake to Peace River Landing, lat. 56° 15', in June, 

 1903. {Spreadborough.) At Clandeboye bay. Lake Manitoba, June 

 13th, 1894, I found the nest and four eggs of this species about 

 seven feet up in a willow. At Oak lake, Manitoba, May 23rd, 1893, 

 I found a nest and four eggs of this species. It is rather rare in 

 Saskatchewan. {W. Raine.)
