April 16th, 1893, and became common in a few days, a nest was 
taken containing four eggs on May 13th; nest on the ground built 
of moss lined with dry grass and hair; quite common at Comox 
and Nanaimo. (Spreadborough.) 
Five specimens taken at New Westminster and one taken at 
Mount Lehman on September 15th are typical of the coast form. 
(Streator.) Chiefly west of the Coast range; a very abundant 
summer resident on the coast. (Fannin.) More common than 
the type; a summer resident. (Brooks.) A very abundant sum- 
mer resident on the Pacific slope of British Columbia. (hoads.) 
Rather rare on Queen Charlotte islands, seen twice at Cumshewa 
inlet. Three specimens taken at Fort Kenai, Alaska, by Bischoff 
in May, 1869. (Osgood.) Common at Haines Mission, Lynn 
canal, June 1st, 1899. (Bishop.) Extending up the Pacific coast 
this bird is found as a common summer resident of the wooded 
southeastern shore of Alaska, where it replaces celata. (Nelson.) 
Tolerably common about clearings, and in the low growths of firs 
which border the beaches at the mouths of the streams at Sitka, 
Alaska. (Grinnell.) Four specimens taken at Sheep creek, and 
four on Kenai mountains, Alaska, in August, 1901. The species 
was fairly common along all streams in the timber belt even to 
its highest limits where it breeds. (Fvggims.) Two adults taken 
at Seldovia, Alaska and one juvenal at Sheep creek. (Anderson.) 
BREEDING Notes.—Banff, Rocky mountains, June roth, 1893, 
in the valley of the Bow river, we flushed a little warbler off its 
nest and five eggs. This nest was built on the ground amongst 
short herbage growing at the side of a fallen log. As I wished to 
secure the parent bird to prove the identity of the eggs we did 
not molest the nest. Next morning my collector brought me a 
female orange-crowned warbler he had caught with his hand on 
the nest we found the day previous, so I took my camera along 
and photographed the nest and the photo-engraving of this nest 
is to be seen in Oliver Davies’ ‘“‘Nests and Eggs of North American 
Birds,’ page 431. (W. Rawne.) 
647. Tennessee Warbler. 
Helminthophila peregrina (Wi1s.) RipGw. 1882. 
Obtained by Drexler at Fort George, James bay, in June and 
July, 1860. (Packard.) Rather common at Stewiacke, but never
