692 GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF CANADA. 
inches high; I never saw this bird in Ontario. (Rev. C.J. Young.) 
Mr. Kay saw a pair at Port Sydney, Muskoka, in November, 1892; 
I have looked for it carefully in Parry Sound district but without 
success; I have secured a single specimen at Toronto. (/. ZH. 
Fleming.) We first met this species on the Echimamish River, 
June 24th. We noted it again at Robinson Portage, three days 
later, and found it common at Oxford House, where we secured 
a male, July 3rd. We saw several on an island in Knee Lake, 
July 5th, and a number at York Factory, July 13th, collecting two 
on the latter date. On our return we saw several on Hill River, 
September 3rd. (&. A. Preble.) Found only in the north and 
east of Manitoba among the great coniferous forests; permanent 
resident. (Zhompson-Seton.) Two specimens of this species were 
secured at Grand Rapids of the Saskatchewan. (Wutting.) First 
noticed at Sulphur Springs on the Clearwater River, about Lat. 
56° 30’, very common from there to Methye Portage and across 
the portage, and from Methye Lake to Isle ala Crosse. (/. /. 
Macoun.) Shot one on May 7th, 1897 at Edmonton, Alta., the 
only one seen; one seen at Bear Creek, Peace River, Lat. 56°, 
August 5th, 1903; common in spruce woods along the Atha- 
basca River at Jasper House, Alta., in June, 1898.  (Spread- 
borough.) North to Fort Simpson on the Mackenzie River; 
not common. (foss.) This bird has been found throughout 
the wooded portion of Alaska from its southern coastline 
at Fort Kenai north through the Kuskoquim and Yukon River 
regions to the northern tree-limit, well within the Arctic 
Circle. (JVelson.) A number of specimens of this species was 
obtained from Fort Yukon, Nulato and several from St. 
Michael. It visits the coast only during the winter. It is a con- 
stant resident of the wooded districts and in some localities is 
quite abundant. (Zurner.) Very common at Tyonek, but rarely 
seen at Hope; two specimens were taken at Fort Kenai by Bis- 
choff. Cook’s Inlet specimens do not seem to differ from those of 
the Yukon and Kowak valleys. I am also unable to find any 
appreciable differences between them and three birds recently 
collected by E. A. Preble near the type locality of Audsonicus. 
Consequently I do not agree that the specimens at present avail- 
able warrant the recognition of Parus hudsonicus evura. From a 
rather hasty examination of the material in the National Museum 
there seems to be an average difference in the length of the tail
