though none were seen at Chemawawin. (Nuwtting.) Very abund- 
ant between Edmonton and Athabaska Landing; more plentiful at 
the latter place than anywhere else; only one pair seen between 
Athabaska Landing and Lesser Slave river; none down the Atha- 
baska to Fort McMurray, there very common; none up the Clear- 
water to Methye portage, but common there; seen here and there 
where there are clearings from Methye lake to Isle a la Crosse. 
(J. M. Macoun.) Quite common at Edmonton, Alta., first seen 
April 16th, by May 6th many were building nests and early in 
June eggs were hatched; common in the foothills to the Inter- 
national Boundary; quite common from the mouth of Lesser Slave 
river to Peace River Landing, lat. 56° 15’, in June, 1903. (Spread- 
borough.) This species appeared at Carlton House on April 22nd, 
1827, in lat. 53°; the same season it reached Fort Chipweyan in 
lat. 58° on May 7th and Fort Franklin in lat. 65° on the 2oth of 
the same month. (Richardson.) North to Lapierre House, on the 
Mackenzie river; abundant. (Ross.) This is a common bird both 
at Fort Anderson and on the banks of the Swan and Wilmot-Horton 
rivers in the Barren Grounds. (Macfarlane.) Rare migrant at 
Chilliwack. (Brooks.) One or two of the citations above should 
perhaps go to propinqua. An examination of our specimens shows 
that while Indian Head and Edmonton specimens are typical mzgra- 
torva the specimens taken in $.W. Saskatchewan are propinqua. 
Throughout the entire wooded portion of Alaska this bird is 
found more or less numerous during summer, and along the tree- 
less coast of Behring sea and Kotzebue sound it appears merely 
as a straggler in the migrations. (Nelson.) This species is quite 
common at Fort Yukon, where it breeds. (Twurner.) One indi- 
vidual seen on St. Paul island, Alaska, in October, 1872. (Ellvott.) 
The miners that we met at Hope and Sunrise, Cook inlet, Alaska, 
reported that the “regular eastern robin,’ had often been seen 
there. We did not observe it ourselves in the month of August, 
the time of our stay at these points. (Osgood.) Tolerably com- 
mon at Haines and Skagway, but not at Glacier. At Haines I 
took a female and four well-incubated eggs, June 2nd. Robins 
were common at Log Cabin, June 15th, and were found regularly 
but in gradually decreasing numbers until August 1st, when the 
last was noted near Sixty-mile creek. A flock seen July 2oth, 
showed that the southern migration had commenced. We found
