Pay Howe, fanges of Wilson's and Willow Thrushes, 19 
speak to Dr. Walter Faxon in regard to this specimen, and he 
spoke of always having noticed a peculiarity in late fall migrants 
of this species in New England. ‘This led me to look into the 
matter more carefully with the following results. 
I find that the range of typical Wylocichla fuscescens extends 
northward to Nova Scotia (Streuracke); Toronto, Ontario ; 
northern Ohio; and westward to Missouri. Audubon recorded 
it from Newfoundland (Orn. Biog., II, p. 362) and Labrador, the 
species, however, was probably Aylocichla alicie. Mr. William 
Brewster recorded it from Ellis Bay, Anticosti (Proc. Boston Soc. 
Nat. His., Vol. XXII, p. 368) where he writes “rather to my 
surprise I came upon a pair of these Thrushes,.... they were 
seen so distinctly that there can be no doubt as to the correctness 
of the identification.” The birds, however, were not taken. 
Thompson in ‘ Birds of Manitoba’ (Proc. U. S. Nat. Museum, 
Vol. XIII, p. 633) records this species as an “abundant summer 
resident,’ and gives the following localities where the species 
has been recorded: Pembina; Red River Valley; Selkirk, and 
Red River; Shoal Lake; Oak Point; Portage la Prairie; Lake 
Manitoba, and westward; Carberry; Qu’ Appelle; but Thomp- 
son’s records for typical Aylocichia fuscescens are probably at 
fault, the bird inhabiting this region (Manitoba) being un- 
doubtedly Hylocich/a fuscescens salicicola, for the specimen (Coll. 
U. S. Nat. Mus. No. 112606) from Shoal Lake, Manitoba, I have 
examined, and it is typical of this last named race, as are many 
other specimens examined from the same region. ‘Two speci- 
mens: (CollU-- ss. Nat..Mus., Nos. 63847, Pembina, Dak., and 
13698, Rainy Lake River), identified by Mr. Ridgway as #. 
fuscescens are without doubt sa/icicola, though slightly intermediate, 
as might be expected, being taken on the border line between 
the two races. 
The range of AWylocichla fuscescens salicicola Ridgw., Willow 
Thrush, is from Missouri (Charleston) and Dakota westward to 
the Rocky Mountains (Washington, Spokane), south to New 
Mexico and Arizona, and northward to Manitoba, Rainy Lake 
River and British Columbia (Kamloops). <A series of specimens 
from Codroy, Newfoundland, in Mr. William Brewster’s collec- 
tion I find to be typical sa/cico/a, but I am unable to obtain any
