August 5,1 found the nest. It was under a dwarf birch, was made 
of grass and resembled the nest of the white-throated sparrow. It 
contained three young ready to fly. (E. T. Seton.) 
554. White-crowned Sparrow. 
Zonotrichia leucophrys (FORST.) SWAINS. 1831. 
Seems to be confined to southern Greenland; not numerous but 
certainly a breeding bird, though its nest has not yet been found in 
the country. (Arct. Man.) Very plentiful throughout eastern La- 
brador; breeds abundantly at Fort Chimo. (Packard.) Not obser- 
ved on James bay until a short distance north of Fort George when 
they became common; very abundant from Richmond gulf across 
Ungava to Fort Chimo. (Spreadborough.) Two specimens taken 
at Chateau bay, Labrador, July 14th, 1891. (Norton.) A common 
summer resident in Newfoundland. (Reeks.) The most abundant 
land bird in northeastern Labrador; common wherever there was any 
spruce scrub. (Bigelow.) I have six nests and eggs of this bird taken 
at Nachvak and Whale river, Ungava. (W. Raine.) In numbers on 
Sable Island,N.S., May 25, 1905; one seen May 13, 1907. (J. Boutelier.) 
A very common summer resident in New Brunswick; occurs more 
frequently at Grand Manan during migration. (Chamberlain.) A

Quebec. (J. M. Macoun.) Taken at Beauport; summer migrant in 
eastern Quebec. (Dionne.) A scarce transient visitor at Montreal, 
both inspringand autumn. (Wvntle.) First seen at York Factory, 
Hudson bay where it was abundant and where a small series, includ- 
ing old of both sexes, and young just from the nest, was taken, 
July 12th to 14th. About the post at Churchill it was extremely 
abundant July 23rd to 30th, but after passing north of that point 
we saw no more until our return when ascending Hayes River. 
(Preble.) York Factory, Hudson bay. (Dr. R. Bell.) Fort Church- 
ill, Hudson bay. (Clarke.) 
A common migrant in spring and fall at Ottawa. (Ottawa Natur- 
alist, Vol. V.) A sparrow that I have never seen in Ontario in sum- 
mer; neither did I observe it in June or July on the Magdalen islands. 
It commonly arrives in Ontario about the 15th of May, and is plen-
