A young specimen taken in Greenland at Frederickshaab, October

saw several in Labrador. (Packard.) A very rare summer resident 
inland in Nova Scotia. (Downs.) Rather common summer resident 
in King’s county, Nova Scotia. (H. F. Tujts.) Rare at Baddeck, 
Cape Breton island, July, 1898. (Macoun.) An occasional summer 
resident at St. John, N.B. (Chamberlain.) <A tolerably common 
summer resident at Scotch Lake, York county, N.B. (W. dH.

Charlesbourg. (Dionne.) A common transient visitant at Mont- 
real. Observed here from May i1oth to 24th, but not met with in 
the autumn. (Wuntle.) I saw a pair in an open spot in spruce

(Ottawa Naturalist, Vol. V.) Commonly seen as a migrant in Leeds 
county, Ont., in the month of May. I saw a pair of these birds in a 
small swamp of black spruce and tamarack at Sharbot lake, Ont., 
June 17th, 1904. They appeared to be breeding. They are common 
in migration at Queensboro, West Madoc, Ont. (Rev. C. J. Young.) 
Regular migrant at Toronto, Ont ; this was a rare warbler twenty 
years ago. A common summer resident in Parry Sound and Mus- 
koka districts. (J. H. Fleming.) Observed several in thick woods 
in Algonquin park, Ont. They keep to the tops of trees. I have 
never seen them near the ground. (Spreadborough.) This beauti- 
fully attired warbler is just plentiful enough at Toronto for all who 
desire to make their acquaintance annually to do so with but little 
trouble. Their favourite resort is among the hemlocks and similar 
growths. Usually reaching us about 1oth May and I have seen a 
few as early as 3rd of May. In the year 1900 I saw several on 21st 
August. (J. Hughes-Samuel.) A rare summer resident, but a 
fairly common migrant at London, Ont. (W. E. Saunders.) A

8th and again about August 28th. (A. B. Klugh.)
