preeding. (FE. T. Seton.) A tolerably common spring visitant, 
possibly breeds at Aweme, Manitoba. (Criddle.) Common migrant 
in Manitoba generally, not known to breed. (Atkinson.) This is 
a common spring migrant at Indian Head, Sask., two individuals 
were seen May oth, 1892; towards the end of the month they became 
common, but all disappeared by June 5th; first saw one male May 
roth, 1894, at Medicine Hat, Sask.; quite common by the 16th, all 
disappeared by the end of May; some may breed, as they acted as 
if they would; a few individuals seen at Old Wives creek, Sask., late 
in May, 1895; one individual seen at the upper crossing of Lob-stick 
creek, northwest of Edmonton, June, 1898; a common breeding 
species at Banff, Rocky mountains, in the summer of 1891; observed 
a pair at Bragg creek, about 40 miles southwest of Calgary, June 28th, 
1897. (Spreadborough.) One specimen secured at the Grand 
Rapids of the Saskatchewan: (Nuttong.) Two or three individuals 
seen on the Athabaska river near Lesser Slave river. (J. M.Macoun.) 
Our specimen of this bird was killed by an Indian in the neighbour- 
hood of Cumberland House, in the latter end of May. (Richardson.) 
North to Lapierre House, on the Mackenzie river; common. (Ross.) 
More plentiful than D. coronata, although only 21 nests were secured. 
(Macjarlane.) Female observed feeding young at Artillery lake, 
August 5th, 1907. (E. T. Seton.) They were all similarly situated, 
and contained four or five eggs, and two or three of them were on 
the ground. I shot a black-poll warbler in the first plumage at 
Quesnel, B.C., but was unable to find it in the thick brush; I am very 
well acquainted with the species and am positive of its identity. 
(Brooks.) Although this species has its breeding grounds in the 
wooded interior it occurs along the sea-coast of Norton sound during 
the spring migration. (Nelson.) This species was obtained only at 
Fort Yukon on September 18th, 1875, and also in 1877; it is not 
common at any time in that locality. (Turner.) At Log Cabin in 
the White pass on June 15th, 1899, this species was common; on 
July 5th took a male at Lake Marsh and two specimens were taken 
at Cariboo Crossing, B.C. (Bishop.) One specimen taken at Fort 
Kenai, Cook inlet, Alaska, by Bischoff. (Osgood.) Found breeding 
in the Kowak valley, Kotzebue sound, Alaska, in 1899. (Grinnell.) 
An adult female was taken on Sheep creek on the Kenai peninsula, 
Alaska; besides being noted at several other points and no doubt 
breeds there. (Figgins.)
