394 GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF CANADA. 
Mt. lake, on our northern boundary, long. 114°, W. suggests the 
possibility of this form breeding also on the mountains at that point, 
or not far to the north. It is not reported from Pt. Barrow, is rare 
at St. Michael, Alaska, and is probably an interior race. Breeding 
birds have been examined from Fort Yukon and St. Michael, Alaska; 
Arctic coast east of Fort Anderson, also Horton river and Franklin 
bay; from Fort Reliance, Fort Resolution and Big island, Great 
Slave lake; also from Saskatchewan region. Non-breeding from 
Chilliwack, B.C. (Dwight.) This very handsome lark arrives in the 
Northwest Territories along with the Lapland bunting, with 
which it associates. It retires to the marshy and eastern wooded 
districts to breed, extending its range to the shores of the 
Arctic sea. (Richardson.) East of and including the Coast 
range ; I have taken it on the summit. (Fannin.) Common 
spring and autumn migrant at Chilliwack, B.C. (Brooks.) This 
species arrives before the first of April at Indian Head, Sask., but 
in what numbers it is hard to determine as the form that remains 
to breed may be praticola or arenicola or even hoytt. The specimen 
in our collection was shot on April 12, 1892, and on the same day I 
took a specimen of arenicola; on April 19, 1890, another specimen 
was taken at Revelstoke, B.C., where they appeared to be common; 
in April, 1891, specimens were taken at Banff, Rocky mountains; 
no specimens that proved to be this form were taken in the autumn ; 
four specimens taken at Huntingdon on the boundary between 
Washington and British Columbia, in September, 1901, proved to 
to be this form. It is more than probable that Dr. Dwight is correct 
when he says that this may breed on the mountains north of the 
United States boundary. (Spreadborough.) Kenai mountains, Alaska, 
found breeding on the high barren mountains. (Frggins.) A small 
flock of ten or fifteen was seen flying about the summit of the 
‘* Portage mountain ” between the head of Chulitna river and 
Swan lake, Alaska. (Osgood.) Throughout Alaska this species appears 
to be very rare. Two specimens were taken in the vicinity of St. 
Michael during my residence there, and three were secured on the 
upper Yukon. All these were young males. It is much more common 
on the upper Yukon in spring and summer than along the shores of 
Behring sea, where it can only be counted a very rare straggler. 
(Nelson.) A single specimen of this bird was brought to me by a 
native who said he had just killed it at Egg island, a few miles from 
the village of St. Michael. (Twurner.)
