J. Parker Norris, Jr., describes (Auk, Vol. XIX, 1902, page 88) 

 a nest and four eggs in his collection, taken by Allan Brooks at 

 Cariboo, British Columbia, June 15, 1901. On the same date 

 Brooks found another nest with newly hatched yoimg and several 

 more nests with young the following week. From this it would 

 appear that the breeding season there was a week or two earlier 

 than we found it in New Brunswick. We infer from Brooks' data 

 that he found the birds nesting on dry ground, but otherwise the 

 situation of the nests, arched over by dry grass, se^ms to have been 

 the same as in the case of the New Brunswick nests. Norris' 

 description of these eggs agrees largely with those we observed, but 

 his nest differs both as to the flat appearance previously mentioned 

 and in having a greater variety of material, leaves not occurring 

 in the nests we found, while moss was seldom used by the New 

 Brunswick birds. A photograph of the nest in the Norris collec- 

 tion appears in 'The Oologist,' (Vol. XXII, 1905, page 134). 



Macoun's Catalogue of Canadian Birds, as to breeding, only 

 quotes the description of the Norris nest, above mentioned, and 

 an alleged nest reported by W. Raine as having been taken near 

 Edmonton, Alberta, in 1899, situated two feet up in a willow bush. 

 O. W. Knight in his 'Birds of Maine' reports a nest found by C. D. 

 Farrer, near South Lewiston, Maine, June 4, 1895, containing five 

 eggs, advanced in incubation, and other nests with young, found 

 near Bangor, Maine. 



The August, 1915, issue of ' The Oologist ' reports a nest and four 

 eggs in the collection of Gerard Alan Abbott, taken by E. Arnold, 

 at Gaff Topsail, Newfoundland, June 25, 1913.
