CATALOGUE OF CANADIAN BIRDS. 643 
A common species eastward, but only observed on the 49th 
parallel in the Rocky Mountains near Chief Mountain. (Covzes.) 
A rare migrant in eastern Manitoba. Near Long River, Man., I 
saw a black-capped warbler on May 2ist, 1882, my only record, 
though others claim it is a summer resident. (Zhompson-Seton.) 
Found at Grand Rapids and Chemawawin on the Saskatchewan. 
(Nutting.) One pair seen at Fort McMurray, Lat. 56° 40’; common 
on the Methye Portage; common between Methye Portage and 
Isle ala Crosse. (/. M. Macoun,) A tolerably common summer 
resident at Avenue, Manitoba; arrives about May 18th and leaves 
about the middle of September. (Morman Criddle.) Three 
individuals were seen on May 15th, 1894, at Medicine Hat, 
Assa., and later a few more; first seen at Edmonton, Alta., on 
May 29th, 1897,a few pairs remained to breed; quite common and 
breeding at Banff, Rocky Mountains, in June, 1891; abundant at 
Revelstoke, on the Columbia River, from May 15th, 1890, nested 
in the woods in large numbers; observed one individual on the 
International Boundary near Trail in May, 1902. (Spreadborough.) 
North to Lapierre’s House on the Mackenzie River; very rare. 
(Ross.) This is one of the commonest brush-frequenting species 
in the north and extends its breeding range to the shores of the 
Arctic Ocean where it is found breeding about Kotzebue Sound 
as well as along the entire coast of Norton Sound, wherever shelter 
is afforded. (Ve/son.) The series of Wilson’s warbler taken in 
eastern and western British Columbia compared among themselves 
and with specimens from the Atlantic States are devoid of any 
differences which would justify their separation. (Rhoads.) A 
single specimen of this species was captured by a native in the 
bushes which skirted a lake about a mile distant from the redoubt 
at St. Michael; itis nota common birdin that vicinity, occurring 
only in the fall migrations; other specimens were obtained from 
Fort Yukon and Nulato, where it is not rare. (Zurner.) Osgood 
took an adult female near the Chandindu River, Aug. 4th, 1899, 
andI ayoung female near Charlie Village, Aug. 11th, and a young 
male 25 miles above Circle City, Alaska, August 20th. These 
birds, while not typical puszd/a, are, like those of the lower Yukon, 
nearer it than peleolata. (Bishop.)
