11. Sitta canadensis. Red-breasted Nuthatch. None were seen 

 on Bhore, but on August 1 1 , off Moisie, five of this species, one adult , I be 

 others immature, came on board the steamer in a fog and remained on 

 board two days. They were extremely tame and crept about the deck, 

 and on i he ropes and spars', sometimes wil hin a few inches of the passengers. 

 One alighted on the coat-collar of a sailor as he was lighting his j >i j >< -, and 

 another <>n nay shoulder as I stood <>n the bridge. I put my hand near the 

 adult Nuthatoh on the rail and he picked at nay finger; then he flew into 

 the captain's cabin and gathered insects from the window. There were 

 many small dead mollis on board that seemed to be particularly relished. 

 I noticed two Nuthatches on the chains of the smoke stack undisturbed by 

 the constant vibrations, and, what is still more surprising, by the deafening 

 steam fog-horn thai was blown al frequent intervals within a few feet of 

 them. 



r> Ponthestes atricapillus atricapillus. Chickadee. On an
