acommon spring migrant at Indian Head, Assa., two individuals 
were seen May oth, 1892; towards the end of the month they 
became common, but all disappeared by June 5th; first saw one 
male May toth, 1894, at Medicine Hat, Assa.; quite common by 
the 16th, all disappeared by the end of May ; some may breed, 
as they acted as if they would; a few individuals seen at Old 
Wives’ Creek, Assa., late in May, 1895; one individual seen at 
the upper crossing of Lob-stick Creek, northwest of Edmon- 
ton, June, 1898 ; a common breeding species at Banff, Rocky

(Spreadborough.) One specimen secured at the Grand Rapids of 
the Saskatchewan. (Nutting.) Two or three individuals seen on the 
Athabasca River near Lesser Slave River. (/.M. Macoun.) Our 
specimen of this bird was killed by an Indian in the neighbour- 
hood of Cumberland House,in the latter end of May. (Richardson.) 
North to Lapierre’s House, on the Mackenzie River ; common. 
(Ross.) More plentitul than D. coronata, although only 21 nests 
were Secured. (Macfarlane.) They were all similarly situated, and 
contained four or five eggs, and two or three of them were on the 
ground. I shot a black-poll warbler in the first plumage at Ques- 
nel, B.C., but was unable to find it in the thick brush; I am very 
well acquainted with the species and am positive of its identity. 
(Grooks.) Although this species has its breeding grounds in the 
wooded interior it occurs along the sea-coast of Norton Sound 
during the spring migration. (Ve/son.) This species was obtained 
only at Fort Yukcn on September 18th, 1875, and also in 1877; it 
is not common at any time in that locality. (Zurner.) At Log 
Cabin in the White Pass on June 15th, 1899, this species was com- 
mon; on July 5th took a male at Lake Marsh and two specimens 
were taken at Caribou Crossing, B.C. (Bzshop.) One specimen 
taken at Fort Kenai, Cook’s Inlet, Alaska, by Bischoff. ( Osgood.) 
Found breeding in the Kowak valley, Kotzebue Sound, Alaska, in 
1899. (Grinnell.) An adult female was taken on Sheep Creek on 
the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska; besides being noted at several 
other points and no doubt breeds there. (Chapman.)
