34. Molospiza lincolni lincolni. Lincoln's Sparrow. Several 

 were seen along both rivers. Two pairs acted as it' they had young, 



88. Pauerella iliaea illaoa. Fox Sparrow. Common at the mouth 

 of the river nn.l one was heard singing about 78 miles up si ream. As the 



sons', season had praelieally eeased 1 may ha\e overlooked many .it' these 



as of other Bpeoies. 



38 Eridoproone bioolor. I'm m Swallow, An occasional indi- 

 vidual of this Bpeoies was seen from time to time flying over the rivers, four 



in all. and one w as seen about t ho steamer off the MingaD Islands.

38 DendXOioa .estiva .estiva. YULLOV. WaRBLBR, Two of this 

 Bpeoies were seen on July 31 and August 1 about seventy-live or eighty 

 miles up the river and I hi" female seemed. This specimen as well as an 

 adult male taken at Esquimaux Point by Mr- Bent on .tune 10, 1909, and a 

 young bird from North West Kivorsent me by Dr. Oronfoll, taken Septem- 

 ber 1. L908, all appear somewhat darker and to have slightly thicker bills 

 than those taken farther south. The number of speeimens, however, is- 



too small to afford any conclusions of value. 

 39, Dendroioa ooronata. Mtrtle Warblsr. Only two Myrtle 



Warblers were Been OQ the trip. 



\o Dendroioa magnolia, Mw;\onv w irblrr. a common war- 

 bler along the river OOUTSes and still in feeble sons; up to the end of the 

 first week in August. 



■H. Dendroioa striata. Hi u-k-rou \\ vum i BR. - Only one bird 

 was identified inland, but at the mouth of the river several were heard 

 Singing feebly on August S and 9. Hither the birds inland had migrated, 



or had finished rearing their young and were moulting, concealed and silent. 



The season inland is earlier than on the eoast at Natashquan. which is the 

 westernmost point of the Aretie Coastal Strip. 



4_\ Dendroica vireiis. Black-t&roatod Oi;fkn Warblbr. — This 

 was the eouunonest warbler inland, and was almost everywhere in evideneo 

 Owing to the constant chipping of the young calling for food The adults 

 sank; oeeasionally up to the last of July. Mr. Bent and I found this bird 

 abundant on the southern eoast in L909, but previous to this time there 

 had been but three roeords for the whole of I abrador, one taken at Hsqui- 

 inau\ Point by lYa/ar. and two seen at the Mingan Islands by Palmer. 



The breeding of this bird in the same region with BUCh Hudsonian speeies 

 as the I ineoln's and l'o\ Sparrows and the Labrador Horned Owl is inter- 

 esting and surprising. The Check-List states that it is a bird of the ' 1 ower 

 Canadian and Transition Zones." 



Setophajra ruticilla. KkivstarT. Several were seen near the 

 landing wharf for Clark Oity at the Hay of Seven Islands on Jul\
