BREEDING NoTeEs.—I have a nest and four eggs of this bird that 
were taken at Hamilton inlet, Labrador, March 20th, 1894. The 
nest was built in a larch tree and is a beautiful structure of inter- 
laced twigs, the nest proper being a compact woven felt-like struc- 
ture of fur, hair and feathers. (W. Raine.) A nest taken by 
Mr. A. P. Low at Rigolet, Hamilton inlet, Labrador, 25th March, 
1894, is quite a bulky affair. The outside is chiefly made up of 
dead twigs chiefly of tamarac (larch) with a few of white spruce. 
The inside is of down, feathers, hair, fur and strips of the inner 
bark of willow felted together.
