brush-heaps. In the fall I have seen it on Wolfe Island, near King- 
ston, in September, but it is not so familiar a bird at that season. 
(Rev. C. J. Young.) Regular migrant at Toronto, Ont.; a fairly 
common migrant in the Parry Sound and Muskoka districts. (J. 
H. Fleming.) Transient visitant at Penetanguishene, Ont.; not 
very common. (A. F. Young.) 
A summer migrant in Manitoba, probably breeding in the north- 
eastern regions; abundant at the mouth of the Great Slave river 
in 1907 but not seen farther northeasterly. (E. T. Seton.) A 
regular but not abundant migrant in Manitoba. (Atkinson.) Only 
seen at Indian Head, Sask. as a migrant between the 9th and 20th 
May; they were quite common for some time. First seen on May 
4th at Medicine Hat, Sask; they were common by the goth, but 
were all gone by the 15th. On June 24th of the same year they 
were common in all the brush on the east end of the Cypress hills 
and were certainly breeding. First seen at Edmonton,Alta., May 7th, 
1897; none seen after the ninth. Ali were migrants. (Spread- 
borough.) First noticed in numbers at Prince Albert, Sask., last 
spring (1899). Probably common but irregular in its visits. (Cou- 
beaux.) 
554a. Gambel Sparrow. 
Zonotrichia leucophrys gambelt R1pDGW. 1899. 
I was surprised to find that the white-crowned sparrows of the 
Mouse (Souris) river were the variety instead of typical lewcophrys, 
but such was the case, as shown beyond question by some of the 
specimens taken with perfect head-dress; found also in the Rocky 
mountains in the autumn where they possibly breed. (Cowes.) A 
regular but not abundant migrant in Manitoba, rather more numer- 
ous than leucophrys. (Atkinson.) North to Lapierre House on 
the Mackenzie river. (Ross.) Abundant on islands in Great 
Slave lake in 1907. (E. T. Seton.) This species is a northern 
bird and breeds in all parts of the Northwest Territories, arriving 
about the middle of May and leaving early in September. 
(Richardson.) North to Fort Resolution on Great Slave lake ; 
rare. (Ross.) This was common as a migrant at Indian 
Head in 1892, and at Medicine Hat, Sask., in May 1894. 
About forty mile southwest of Calgary this species was rather 
common; a nest was taken June 28th having five fresh eggs, placed
