CATALOGUE OF CANADIAN BIRDS. 351 
(Reeks.) Two specimens were seen on the Humber River, New- 
foundland, on August 15th, 1899. (ZL. H. Porter.) A common 
summer resident in Nova Scotia. (Downs.) Fairly common in 
dense woods at Wolfville, N.S., during the summer. (H. 7z/ts.) 
Found only at Tignish, Prince Edward Island ; in small numbers. 
Observed in small numbers at Baddeck, Cape Breton Island. 
(Dwight.) A common summer resident in New Brunswick. 
(Chamberlain.) Rather common at Ellis Bay, Anticosti, about the 
edges of the woods. (Brewster.) Inoticed this bird on the Mag- 
-dalen Islands in 1897, and on the 13th June of that yearone came on 
board the steamer I was on, when off the Gaspé coast. I have not 
seen it in Ontario. (Rev. C. J. Young.) Common at Lake Mistassin1, 
and breeds. (/. WZ. Macoun.) Taken at Beauport; a common 
summer resident in Quebec. (Dronne.) A rather scarce summer 
resident in the Montreal district. I have not found a nest of this 
species here yet, but have shot several specimens of the bird. 
(lWintle.) A rare summer resident in the Ottawa district ; a nest 
of this species was taken at Chelsea, Que., in June, 1897. (Ottawa 
Naturalist, Vol. V.) A common and widely distributed species, 
breeding in Muskoka and Parry Sound districts. (/. H. Fleming.) 
I usually see one or more of this species at Toronto during the 
spring and fall migrations; while here they are very shy. On 
following one I usually find the bird making a series of quiet dis- 
appearances. (J. Hughes-Samuel.) Not observed to breed near 
London, Ont., but Dr. P. J. Scott found a nest near Southampton. 
I have not seen itin the Bruce peninsula. (W.£. Saunders.) Sum- 
mer resident in woodlands in Manitoba. Duck Mountain, June 
11th, 1884, shot a flycatcher that was continually uttering a note 
like ‘“che-blick’””’; it was all over of a greenish colour, but yellow 
on the belly ; it answers fairly well to the description of flaw- 
ventris, but is very like an Acadian shot yesterday ; evidently the 
species is breeding here. (Zhompson-Seton.) Only one specimen 
at the Grand Rapids of the Saskatchewan. (Vwtting.) 
BREEDING NoTtes.—On May 23rd, 1893, at Oak Lake, Manitoba, 
found a nest of this species with four eggs. It was built on a 
mossy log three feet from the ground in a swampy thicket. (W. 
Raine.)
