and Muskoka districts, Ont. (J. H. Fleming.) Not rare as a summer 
resident in Algonquin park, Ont. Several seen at Missinabi, 
Ont., during the first week in June, 1904. (Spreadborough.) 
Abundant in spring and fall at Toronto, and as they reach us before 
the end of August fall migration it is reasonable to conclude that 
some at least do not go far to breed. (J. Hughes-Samuel.) A 
common migrant, but a rare summer resident in Middlesex co., 
Ont.; abundant in parts of north Bruce in June. (W. E. Saunders.) 
Passing migrant; seen about May roth at Guelph, Ont., and again 
from about August 28th up till September 28th. (A. B. Klugh.) 
One or two seen at Norway House, Keewatin, and one taken at 
Oxford House. (E. A. Preble.) 
One specimen of this species was taken in Wood mountain by 
Dr. G. M. Dawson and seen in his collection. (Coues.) A migrant 
in Manitoba, and apparently common near Winnipeg, but may 
breed in the northern part of the province. (E. T. Seton.) A 
tolerably common spring and autumn migrant at Aweme, Manitoba; 
arrives about the middle of May. (Criddle.) Abundant in Manitoba 
generally as a migrant, but not noted breeding. (Atkznson.) A few 
specimens seen at Wood mountain, Sask., where they were doubtless 
breeding, on June 12th, 1895; a specimen was shot at Revelstoke, 
B.C., in July, 1890; no others were seen; only two individuals ob- 
served at Edmonton, Alta., on May 22nd and 25th, 1897. (Spread- 
borough.) Abundant at Chemawawin, on the Saskatchewan. (Nut- 
ting.) A number of specimens seen at Lesser Slave river, Alta. (J. 
M. Macoun.) This is a common bird on the banks of the Saskat- 
chewan; it is usually to be found in the thickets of young spruce 
trees and willows, flitting near the ground from one branch to an- 
other. (Rzichardson.) North to Fort Simpson, on the Mackenzie 
river; rather rare. (Ross.) Taken at Vernon, Lake Okanagan, 
B.C., in 1898, by Mr. Brooks. (Fannin.) <A specimen taken at 
Field, in the Rocky mountains, and two or three observed at Vernon, 
B.C. (Rhoads.) Several seen at Quesnel, B.C., during the fall 
migration. (Brooks.) 
BREEDING Notes.—This species occasionally breeds in central 
Ontario, probably more often than the myrtle warbler. I found a 
nest in a small hemlock, May 30th, 1902, which grew on a wooded 
bank under large hemlock trees on a point at Sharbot lake. The
