CATALOGUE OF CANADIAN BIRDS. 619 



seen at Halifax, N.S. (Downs.) A rather common summer resident 

 at St. John, N.B. (Chamberlain.) A rare summer resident at 

 Scotch Lake, York co., N.B. (W. H. Moore.) Very rare in the 

 Restigouche valley, N.B. (Brittain & Cox.) Not rare at Lake 

 Mistassini, Quebec. (/. M. Macoun.) The only specimen noticed 

 was shot at Fox bay, Anticosti, July 11, (Brewster.) Not common 

 summer resident around Quebec; taken at Beauport. (Dionne.) A 

 common but transient visitant at Montreal. Mr. Kuetzing has 

 found this species here in May, and common for a week or two in 

 swampy places, and I have shot a few in hedgerows in the fields at 

 Hochelaga in May. (Wintle.) 



Rare migrant in the vicinity of Ottawa; one was shot on the 

 bank of the Rideau, April 9, 1882, by Mr. G. R. White; another 

 was shot May i6, 1888. (Ottawa Naturalist, Vol. V.) On May 

 18, 1897, I took one of these warblers in a large alder swamp at 

 Emsdale, Parry Sound, Ont., and saw several more in the same 

 place on 22nd May. They continued common till the 26th, when 

 I only saw one. (/. H. Fleming.) I have usually heard this bird 

 spoken of as rare, but since I first had the pleasure of its personal 

 acquaintance I have concluded that many observers have passed 

 it over on account of its dull plumage, and in some cases it may 

 have been passed as a Regulus, which, in coloration, it somewhat 

 resembles. I believe the bird occurs with us regularly, at any rate 

 in limited numbers; my note dated 22nd May, 1900, reads: — A 

 grand morning, warm and summer-like, a great many warblers in 

 the willows; magnolias very abundant, some of these being so 

 particularly handsome as to give the place quite a tropical effect ; 

 I came across an unusually large number of Tennessee warblers 

 singing, or rather chipping merrily away in the early morning 

 sunshine, two of which I secured; there were not less than 25 of 

 this species in one small patch of willow. (/. Hughes -Samuel.) 

 Sometimes fairly common at London, Ont., in migration. (W. E. 

 Saunders.) One seen at East point, James bay, July 5, 1904. 

 (Spreadhorough.) 



Upon my arrival at Pembina, the beginning of June, I at once 

 perceived that the vernal migration of the present species past 

 this point was about to be concluded, as female specimens pre- 

 ponderated; the species was not observed further west on the 49th
