BREEDING Notres.—On an island in Crane Lake, Assiniboia, 
June goth, 1894, I observed twenty-seven nests. The nests, built 
with sticks and weeds, were from six inches to a foot in height. 
Only nine of the nests contained eggs, and these had but one 
each. <A few days later (June 20th) all the nests had from one to 
four eggs in them, and two additional nests had been built. 
(Spreadborough.) Manitoba and Shoal lakes, Manitoba ; and in 
Buffalo Lake, Alberta. (Dippie.) 
On June 8th, 1894, I found this bird nesting on islands in Shoal 
Lake, Manitoba. Nest of sticks and weeds containing from four 
to five eggs. (Raine.) 
MUSEUM SPECIMENS. 
One specimen shot at Indian Head, Assa.,in May 1892 by Mr. W.
