CATALOGUE OF CANADIAN BIRDS. 697 
February, 1891, by Mr. Montague Smith, of that place, and is now 
in the possession of Mr. S. H. Smith, of Strathroy, Ont. One speci- 
men taken in a ravine near St. Thomas, Ont., by Mr. O. J. Stevenson, 
September, 1905, where it had lived for some time in the previous 
winter at least. I went to see this bird on April 25th, 1905. (W.E. 
Saunders.) Four specimens were taken on September 5th and 6th 
in a thicket on the east shore of Pelee point, Essex co., Ont., all 
young birds. The presence of these fledglings constitutes the first 
breeding record for Canada. (N. B. Klugh, in The Auk, Vol. XXIII, 
p. 105.) 
CCLXIX. THRYOMANES Scrater. 1862. 
719. Bewick Wren. 
Thryomanes bewickw bewickit (AuUD.) OBER. 1898. 
Only one specimen recorded, taken by myself on December 13th, 
1898, in a swampy area full of brush and fallen trees, with a few 
shrubs, near Appin, Ont. There was scarcely a foot of light snow 
on the ground, and the day was clear but not very cold. The bird 
was feeding and working along through upturned roots and piles of 
brush. (W. E. Saunders.) 
719e. Seattle Wren. 
Thryomanes bewickw calophonus OBERHOLSER. 1898. 
Rather rare at Agassiz, B.C., in May, 1889; seen at Chilliwack and 
Huntingdon, B.C., in the summer of 1901; a summer resident on 
Vancouver island; found breeding on April 22nd, 1893; I believe a 
few stay all winter, as I have observed them in midwinter near 
Victoria. (Spreadborough.) Migrant on Vancouver island and at 
Sumas. (Lord.) More common on the coast than in the interior. 
(Streator.) A summer resident, chiefly west of the Coast range; 
breeds in Beacon hill park, Victoria, Vancouver island. (Fannin.) 
Abundant resident at Chilliwack. (Brooks.) Abundant in southern 
British Columbia, west of the Coast range. (Rhoads.) Pacific 
slope, from Oregon north to southern Vancouver island, the valley 
of Fraser river and slightly further along the mainland coast. 
(Oberholser.)
