remains here through the summer, breeding abundantly, The 
nest is made of a greatquantity of dried grass, strings, leaves 
and other materials, and is placed in a wide variety of posi- 
tions ; such as in old tin cans hung up in trees, in knot holes, 
or under the eaves of houses, and under brush heaps in the 
woods. On May 17, 1899, I was shown a nest containing six 
eggs, which was built in a man’s cap hung against the slat- 
ted side of an out-house.

126. REGULUS SATRAPA (Litcht.) Golden-crowned Knight 
A winter resident. It is worth a search in the winter forest 
to get a glimpe of this most exquisite gem of diminutive bird 
life, with his olive-green coat and bright orange and yellow 
crest. His summer home is among the evergreens of the 
mountains, and of the far north.
