recorded by Guernsey, R. H. Hunter, nor Mr. Hine, so that in these 
three cases I am quite sure that the identification is wrong. I 
doubt very much the occurrence of this bird at Winnipeg. Mr. 
Atkinson is of the opinion that the Manitoba records refer to the 
tree sparrow. (Macoun.) 
BREEDING NoTEs.—I have found the nest several times by the 
roadside in a small bush. It appears to be a late breeder as the 
nests I found had fresh eggs in them in July. If closely observed 
this bird is unmistakable, being easily recognized by its waxen- 
coloured bill. Not common in Eastern Ontario. I have, however, 
found it breeding in the township of Lansdowne, Ont., on three 
occasions. I also found a nest on the ground in a pasture near 
second growth woods in the township of Oso, N. Frontenac, in 
June, 1904. It also breeds in the vicinity of Kingston Mills, Ont., 
in dry pastures. (Rev. C. J. Young.) 
CCXXVIII. JUNCO Wacter. 1831. 
567. Slate-coloured Junco. 
Junco hyemalis (LINN.) Sci. 1857. 
Not observed in the Ungava district of Labrador; but common 
in the eastern and southern portions. Breeds at Davis inlet and 
Rigolet. (Packard.) Observed one individual on Moose river, June 
7th, 1896; one on James bay, June 18th; found a pair breeding at 
Fort George; only seen twice in crossing Ungava from Richmond 
gulf to Fort Chimo. (Spreadborough.) Locally common as far as 
the tree line in northeastern Labrador, particularly at Aillik. (Bzge- 
low.) Two specimens taken at Northwest river, Labrador, July 
28th, 1891. (Norton.) A summer migrant and tolerably common 
in Newfoundland. (Reeks.) A few individuals seen along the 
Humber river, Newfoundland, 1899. (Lows H. Porter.) A few 
specimens were seen on Sable island, N.S., in April and one in June, 
but on October 4th and 23rd, 1902, they were quite numerous; one 
seen May 16, 1904; several, April 30, 1905, and in the autumn, Oct. 
7 and Nov. i2; they were seen in large flocks after a heavy gale on 
Nov. 5, 1906; several were seen April 1, 1907, and one on June 17, 
1907. (J. Boutelier.)
