CATALOGUE OF CANADIAN BIRDS. 377 
August 17th, 1897, and saw one during the past fall (1900); two 
were taken at Port Credit, 27th August, 1894, by Mr. Massey; I 
have seen three or four other specimens during the last four or five 
years. (J. Hughes-Samuel.) A very rare summer migrant near 
London, Ont., but a common breeder in North Bruce. (IV. E. 
Saunders.) Abundant and breeding everywhere in swamps in Algon- 
quin park, Ont., June, 1900. Common along the Missinabi and 
Moose rivers in June ,1904. (Spreadborough.) Observed but once, 
on July 4th, 1900, in a swamp bordering Trout river, between 
Oxford House and Knee lake, Keewatin. (Preble.) 
A common summer resident of woodlands throughout northern 
Manitoba. On July 26th, 1883, in the tamarack swamp beyond the 
spruce bush I noticed a very noisy flycatcher; its note was loud, and 
its habits were much like those of the great crested flycatcher. 
After some trouble, for it was very shy, and kept chiefly among the 
topmost branches of certain dead trees, I succeeded in getting it. 
It proved to be a male olive-sided flycatcher; length seven inches ; 
stomach full of flies. (E. T. Seton.) One specimen seen at Indian 
Head, Sask., 1892; from mouth of Lesser Slave river to the Peace 
river, Alta., in 1903; common at Banff, Rocky mountains, Alta., in 
1891, where it was breeding in numbers; in the spring of 1890 it was 
common at Revelstoke and west to Eagle pass where they were 
breeding; this species was also common at Deer Park, Lower Arrow 
lake; and Robson, Columbia river, where they had young; common 
on the International Boundary between Trail and Cascade, but 
rarer west to Princeton, B.C. ; at Sicamous and Spence Bridge high 
up on the mountains in 1889; not common in the Chilliwack valley 
in r901 and 1906 but seen in several places; a summer resident 
throughout Vancouver island ; quite common in burnt forest. (Spread- 
borough.) Only one specimen of this species was procured. It was shot 
on the banks of the Saskatchewan as it was flying near the ground. 
(Richardson.) North to Fort Resolution on Great Slave lake; rare. 
(Ross.) One specimen shot at Athabaska river, a short distance above 
Grand Rapids, June, 1888. (J. M@. Macoun.) A single specimen of this 
bird was brought to me from the lower Yukon in lat. 63°, and is the 
only instance of its capture on record in Alaska. (Nelson.) A 
specimen from Fort Kenai, Cook inlet, is in the National Museum at 
Washington. It isan adult male taken by Bischoff, May 26th, 1869.
