found in the country. (Avct. Man.) Very plentiful throughout 
eastern Labrador ; breeds abundantly at Fort Chimo. (Packard.) 
Not observed on James Bay until a short distance north of Fort 
George when they became common; very abundant from Richmond 
Gulf across Ungava to Fort Chimo. (Spreadborough.) Two speci- 
mens taken at Chateau Bay, Labrador, July 14th, 1891. (Worton.) 
A common summer resident in Newfoundland. (Aeeks.) The most 
abundant land bird in northeastern Labrador ; common wherever 
there was any spruce scrub. (Azgelow.) I have six nests and eggs of 
this bird taken at Nachvak and Whale River, Ungava. (W. Raine.) 
A very common summer resident in New Brunswick; occurs more 
frequently at Grand Manan during migration. (Chambeilain.) A 
tolerably common spring and autumn migrant at Scotch Lake, 
York Co., N.B. (W. H. Moore.) Common at Lake Mistassini, 
northern Quebec. (/. M. Macoun.) Taken at Beauport ; sum- 
mer migrant in eastern Quebec. (Dvéonne.) A scarce transient

First seen at York Factory, Hudson Bay where it was abund- 
ant and where a small series, including old of both sexes, and 
young just from the nest, was taken, July 12th to 14th. About 
the post at Churchill it was extremely abundant July 23rd to 30th, 
but after passing north of that point we saw no more until our 
return when ascending Hayes River. (Predbles.) York Factory, 
Hudson Bay. (Dry. Rk. Bell.) Fort Churchill, Hudson Bay. (Clarke.) 
A common migrant in spring and fall at Ottawa. (Ottawa 
Naturalist, Vol. V.) A sparrow that I have never seen in Ontario 
in summer; neither did I observe it in June or July on the Mag- 
dalen Islands. It commonly arrives in Ontario about the 15th of 
May, and is plentiful by the Igth. It is very tame, frequenting 
wood-piles and brush-heaps. In the fall I have seen it on Wolfe 
Island, near Kingston, in September, but it is not so familiar a 
bird at that season. (Rev. C. J. Young.) A fairly common migrant 
in the Parry Sound and Muskoka districts. (/. AH. Fleming.) 
Transient visitant at Penetanguishene, Ont. ; not very common.

eastern region. (Zhompson-Seton.) Only seen at Indian Head as 
a migrant between the oth and 20th May. They were quite com- 
mon for some time. First seen on May 4th at Medicine Hat,
