CATALOGUE OF CANADIAN BIRDS. 741 
Comox, Sooke and Stubbislandin September. (Spreadborough.) At 
present this bird is known only from the coast of the southeastern 
portion of the territory where Bischoff obtained several specimens, 
in the vicinity of Sitka. (Nelson.) Tolerably common along Indian 
river, Sitka, Alaska, and on some of the small islands in the bay. No 
young were obtained but they certainly breed. (Grimnell.) Abund- 
ant summer visitant at Chilliwack. (Brooks.) Very common in the 
coast region; breeds. (Streator.) A common summer resident west 
of the Coast range; I have found it as far north as Dease lake in 
Cassiar. (Fannin.) Abundant in British Columbia, coastwise. 
(Rhoads.) Common on Queen Charlotte islands, B.C. Eight 
specimens were taken in various parts of the islands. It was very 
abundant at Clew on the north side of Cumshewa inlet but was not 
seen at all at our camp at the head of the inlet where we found H. a. 
verecunda.  (Osgood.) 
758a, Olive-backed Thrush. 
Hylocichla ustulata swainsonu (CaB.) R1ipGw. 1880. 
Specimens were obtained, June 13th and in July, 1860, at Rupert 
House by Drexler. (Packard.) Common on the Moose river and 
observed as far north as Fort George, James bay, in June, 1896. 
(Spreadborough.) A tolerably common summer migrant in New- 
foundland. (Reeks.) Not as common as the hermit thrush at 
Halifax, N.S. (Downs.) Rather common and local summer resi- 
dent in Nova Scotia. (H. F. Tufts.) Taken at Cove Head road, 
Prince Edward island, July 5th, 1888; at numerous points at Cape 
Breton island, 1898. (Macoun.) Very abundant on Prince Edward 
island, almost equalling in numbers the hermit thrush. (Dwzght.) 
A summer resident, breeding in abundance at St. John, N.B. (Cham- 
berlain.) Breeds on the Magdalen islands, but is not common. 
(Bishop.) Generally distributed but net so common in the Gulf 
of St. Lawrence as in northern New England. (Brewster.) A 
scarce and transient visitant at Montreal. I have observed only 
three examples of this thrush on the island of Montreal. I believe 
Mr. Dunlop found a nest with eggs of this species, a number of years 
ago, on the island of Montreal. (Wunile.) This species is common 
enough in eastern Quebec in summer. (Dzonne.) 
A rare summer migrant at Ottawa. (Ottawa Naturalist, Vol. V.)
