36 A NATURALIST IN THE MAGDALEN ISLANDS. 



8. PARUS HUDSONICUS, Forster. 

 (HUDSONIAN TITMOUSE.) 



Not uncommon, but does not appear to be as plenty as 

 the last species. We found it quite abundant at House 

 Harbor. 



9. SITTA CANADENSIS, L. 

 (RED-BELLIED NUTHATCH.) 



Appears to be common on some of the islands. At Bird 

 Rock it came into the lighthouse without the least signs of 

 fear, and began hopping around, looking for its food, without 

 paying the slightest attention to us. I also observed several 

 on Byron Island. 



Breeds. 



10. ANORTHURA TROGLODYTES, (Z.) Cs. 

 var. HYEMALIS, (Wils^) Cs. 



(WINTER WREN.) 



Rather common. Killed three, and observed several 

 others.
