696 GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF CANADA. 
1866, by the naturalist of the Western Union Telegraph expedi- 
tion. During the summer of 1877, on July 26th and 31st, I 
obtained two specimens on each of the days mentioned, as they 
were searching the old board fences surrounding the houses at 
St. Michael. A few others were obtained later and they were 
seen the next year. (Velson.) Two were discovered flitting rap- 
idly among the foliage of some birches a hundred yards back 
from the Kowak River, Kotzebue Sound, near our winter cabin. 
Their behaviour closely resembled that of the ruby-crowned 
kinglet. I saw Kennicott’s willow warbler but once again, on the 
14th of June, 1899, in the Kowak delta. I was following close 
around the margin of a small lake, when I found myself within 
twenty feet of a single individual which I at once recognized as of 
the same species taken the previous fall. The bird was close to 
the ground searching among some willow bushes and stunted 
spruces. ( Grinnell.) 
CCLIII. REGULUS Cuvier. 1799. 
748. Golden-crowned Kinglet. 
Regulus satrapa LicutT. 1823. 
Fairly common in patches of spruce on the northeastern coast 
of Labrador, as far north as Aillik. (Bigelow.) Audubon, Vol. 
II., p. 165, found them feeding their young in August. (Packard.) 
A common resident in Nova Scotia. (Downs.) Asmall flock was 
seen on Sable Island, N.S., on October 2nd, 1902. (James Bouteil- 
fier.) Common in the woods at Brackley Point, Prince Edward 
Island, July 17th, 1888. (AZacoun.) Infrequently observed on Prince 
Edward Island. Young were on the wing by the last of June ; not 
uncommon at Baddeck, Cape Breton Island, in June, 1887. 
(Dwight.) Rather common, most abundant in the fall and winter, 
but it breeds in New Brunswick. (Chamberlain.) A common and 
permanent resident at Scotch Lake, York Co., N.B.; the young are 
about with the parents in late June. (W. H. Moore.) 
A common but transient visitant, at Montreal in spring and 
autumn. (Wintle.) A not common spring and autumn migrant 
in eastern Quebec. (Dzonne.) A common migrant at Ottawa. 
(Ottawa Naturalist, Vol. V.) One of the commonest birds among 
pine and hemlock trees in the early<spring; I see numbers every 
year; I observed them breeding on the Magdalen Islands, in June,
