katchewan in the dead timber of the muskeg. Three specimens 
secured. (Nutting.) Nutting’s specimens were probably E. flavi- 
ventris. 
465. Green-crested Flycatcher, 
Empidonax virescens (VIEILL.) BREWSTER. 1895. 
The published records all refer to the alder flycatcher but I took 
what I believe was this species once at Toronto, Ont.; the specimen 
was lost, however, by the taxidermist who skinned it. (J. H. 
Fleming.) 
466. Traill Flycatcher. 
Empidonax traillv trailli (AuD.) BANGS. 1903. 
I found this species common at Pembina, like minimus, during 
the first week in June, but did not observe it later than the 9th 
of that month. (Coues.) Summer resident in woodlands, breeding 
freely in the northern part of the province of Manitoba. (E. T. Seton.) 
Rare at Aweme, Man. (Criddle.) It is found in low damp ground 
in willow and alder swamps, and was noted regularly in such 
places between Portage la Prairie, Man., and Battle river, Alta. 
along the line of the G.T.P. Ry. in 1906. (Atkinson.) Very common 
at Chemawawin, Sask., especially in the trees bordering a slough, 
where they seemed to have excellent hunting. They perched on 
the lowest branches and bushes, and evidently lived on the insects 
flying over the water. None were secured at Grand Rapids, where 
it is replaced by minimus. (Nutting.) A few were seen at Indian 
Head, Sask., on June 6th, 1892; after this they became common 
and nested in the woods at Deep lake; not uncommon at Old Wives 
creek, Sask. in May, 1895, a pair was shot on the 25th of May; 
quite common at Banff, Rocky mountains and breeding freely in 
1891; common at Revelstoke and Deer Park, B.C., in June, 1890; 
taken at Kamloops, B.C. in June, 1889, and at Sicamous, Enderby 
and Spence Bridge; and also at Chilliwack and MtGuire ranch, 
B.C., June, 1901; in 1902 they were seen at Trail, B.C.; common 
at Elko, B.C., May, 1904; one pair seen at Osoyoos lake, B.C., 1905; 
common on Vancouver island in 1893, when specimens were taken. 
(Spreadborough.) North to Fort Resolution on Great Slave lake;
