ample of this species; this identification has been confirmed by 
Mr. W. E. Saunders, of London, to whom I have sent the specimen.

BREEDING NoTes.—In the first week in June in the year 1898, 
while skirting the top of Rosedale ravine, at Toronto, I came across 
this bird nesting in a large beech. The nest was built rather deeper 
than that of the red-eyed and warbling varieties and was hung in the 
fork of a limb that reached down to about five feet from the ground ; 
I was able to approach to within six or eight feet before the bird 
flushed, and so had a good chance of securing it; not being familiar 
with the white-eyed variety at this time, I was strongly impressed 
with the white iris, and on returning home it proved to be the posi- 
tive identification of this bird. (A.S. Goss.) Some doubt has been 
thrown on Mr. Goss’ record as this bird usually nests in bushes or 
small shrubs, but as the nest was found only five feet from the ground 
the identification may be correct. 
632c. Anthony Vireo. 
Vireo huttont obscurus ANTHONY. 1890. 
This species may be considered a rare visitor to Vancouver island ; 
I secured one near Victoria; this specimen, also two secured by Mr. 
Maynard in the spring of 1891, near the same place are of this 
strongly marked race. (Ithoads.) This vireo evidently winters at 
Comox, Vancouver island as I took a specimen on December 4th, 
1903. In life it is impossible to distinguish it from a ruby-crest, 
and like that bird it associates with flocks of chestnut-backed tits.
