River and on Methye Portage and by Methye Lake to Isle a la 
Crosse. (J. M. Macoun.) 
That pallasit and not audubont breeds in the region around Lake 
La Hache, B.C., is attested by the skinsin the collection. At least 
two points are established by skins in the collection—tst, the 
breeding of aonalaschkae in the Rocky Mountains of British Col- 
umbia; 2nd, the breeding of pal/asi?i west of the Rockies and south 
of the 52nd parallel. (Rhoads.) This was the form of hermit 
thrush occurring at Quesnel in northern British Columbia. A 
skin from 158-Mile House seems closer to the typical form. 
(Brooks.) About 15 miles below Little Salmon River, Yukon dis- 
trict, July 22nd, we secured a pair whose nest, containing four 
well-grown young, Osgood had found the evening before. Far 
from selecting the secluded nesting site usual with this species, 
this pair had placed their nest between two small bunches of 
flowers on an open hillside, just above a small piece of burnt 
poplar woodland, and exposed to the full glare of the sun.

BREEDING Notes.—Breeds from May to July at Scotch Lake, 
N.B. The nest is placed on or near the ground and is composed 
of leaves, grass, bark and roots. Eggs three. (W. H. Moore.) 
nest found on Kettle Island in the Ottawa River near Ottawa 
was built on the ground in a low shady spot. It was built of 
withered leaves, weed stalks and bark strips, lined with fine grass; 
eggs four, of a uniform greenish blue colour. (G. R. White.) I 
have noticed many individuals in the township of Clarendon in 
North Frontenac, Ont., during the past season (1903) and have 
seen eggs that were taken near Trout Lake in a spruce and cedar 
swamp. The eggs are lighter in colour and somewhat larger than 
those of Wilson’s thrush, and are readily distinguished by the 
practised eye: (ew. C.J. Young.)
