CATALOGUE OF CANADIAN BIRDS. 651 
The first, found June 1st, 1902, was fastened, one foot from tip, 
on to a limb of a small shrubby spruce, three feet from the trunk 
and six from the ground. The spot chosen was a side hill covered 
with a growth of young spruce and cedar. The nest, well hidden by 
an overhanging branch, held four fresh eggs and was composed 
exteriorally of dead spruce twigs neatly interwoven with yellow 
birch bark shreds and lined with fine grasses and animal hair. Its 
inside diameter measured 1#, outside 3 inches; inside depth, 13, 
outside, 24 inches. The well rounded and finished appearance 
and the predominance of birch bark reminded me of certain vireos’ 
nests. Two nests found later, on June gth and 29th, were similarly 
situated and constructed and contained respectively four fresh and 
one addled egg. The eggs measured uniformly .66 x .49, are white, 
distinctly and obscurely dotted, chiefly at the larger end, with 
varying shades of rufous.brown and lilac and a few distinct spots 
of black. (L..M. Terrill.)
