(Bishop.) 1 saw this species but once on the 25th May near our 
camp on the Kowak, Kotzebue Sound, Alaska, but heard it a num- 
ber of times. (Grznnell.) 
Breepine Notes.—On June 18th, 1900, Mr. C. E. Whittaker, 
found a nest of this rare warbler at Peel River, within the Arctic 
Circle. It was built in the grass on the ground and contained six 
eggs ; on June 22nd, 1902, Mr. Dippie found a nest and five eggs 
at Banff, Rocky Mountains. (W. Raine.) A nest of this species 
was found on June 13th, 1897, on the edge of a wood in a rather 
damp situation. This was completely hidden by over-hanging 
grass and small aspen trees it was sunken in the ground and was 
composed of grass built with a few horse hairs. There were five 
eggs in it almost hatched. Another nest of the same species was 
found on July Ist near the edge of a large bluff, this was as much 
as the somewhat scanty vegetation would allow and was hidden 
from above by young aspens. There were four fresh eggs in the 
nest which were between 15 and 16mm. long and 12 mm. wide, they 
were white, thickly marked about the larger end with very fine 
slaty-gray and somewhat large brown spots. A third nest examined 
after the birds had left was in almost exactly the same situation 
as the first. (Vorman Criddle.)
