CATALOGUE OF CANADIAN BIRDS. 619 
seen at Halifax, N.S. (Downs.) A rather common summer resident 
at St. John, N.B. (Chamberlain.) A rare summer resident at 
Scotch Lake, York co., N.B. (W. H. Moore.) Very rare in the 
Restigouche valley, N.B. (Brittain & Cox.) Not rare at Lake 
Mistassini, Quebec. (J. M. Macoun.) The only specimen noticed 
was shot at Fox bay, Anticosti, July 11, (Brewster.) Not common 
summer resident around Quebec; taken at Beauport. (Dionne.) A 
common but transient visitant at Montreal. Mr. Kuetzing has 
found this species here in May, and common for a week or two in 
swampy places, and I have shot a few in hedgerows in the fields at 
Hochelaga in May. (Wzntle.) 
Rare migrant in the vicinity of Ottawa; one was shot on the 
bank of the Rideau, April 9, 1882, by Mr. G. R. White; another 
was shot May 16, 1888. ~(Ottawa Naturalist, Vol. V.) On May 
18, 1897, I took one of these warblers in a large alder swamp at 
Emsdale, Parry Sound, Ont., and saw several more in the same 
place on 22nd May. They continued common till the 26th, when 
I only saw one. (J. H. Fleming.) I have usually heard this bird 
spoken of as rare, but since I first had the pleasure of its personal 
acquaintance I have concluded that many observers have passed 
it over on account of its dull plumage, and in some cases it may 
have been passed as a Regulus, which, in coloration, it somewhat 
resembles. I believe the bird occurs with us regularly, at any rate 
in limited numbers; my note dated 22nd May, 1900, reads:—A 
grand morning, warm and summer-like, a great many warblers in 
the willows; magnolias very abundant, some of these being so 
particularly handsome as to give the place quite a tropical effect; 
I came across an unusually large number of Tennessee warblers 
singing, or rather chipping merrily away in the early morning 
sunshine, two of which I secured; there were not less than 25 of 
this species in one small patch of willow. (J. Hughes-Samuel.) 
Sometimes fairly common at London, Ont., in migration. (W. E£. 
Saunders.) One seen at East point, James bay, July 5, 1904. 
(Spreadborough.) 
Upon my arrival at Pembina, the beginning of June, I at once 
perceived that the vernal migration of the present species past 
this point was about to be concluded, as female specimens pre- 
ponderated ; the species was not observed further west on the 49th
