migrations of 1882, we had these birds in comparative abundance 
near the station for a few days, but none remained to breed, and in 
the season of 1883, though a careful lookout was kept for them, 
not one was noticed. Those seen appeared to be travelling towards 
the northeast. ((MJurdoch.) Osgood saw two young wheatears at 
Circle City, Alaska, August 19th, 1899 and secured one. At the 
Aphoon mouth of the Yukon I shot one on August 27th, which fell 
into the river and was carried away by the rapid current, but I saw 
the white rump plainly. (Brshop.) 
765a Greenland Wheatear. 
Saxicola enanthe leucorhoa (GMEL.) STEJN. Ig01. 
One male bird procured at Disco, Greenland, August 11th, 1891, 
and one on July 16th, 1892, by the Parry Relief Expedition. 
(Witmer Stone.) Nests near Nachvak, but I did not see the nest. 
Nests have been taken by the Hudson bay officers. (Bigelow.) 
One of the commonest land birds on Disco island, Greenland, and 
around Disco bay, both on the islands and mainland. I showed 
specimens to Eskimo from Nugumente and Frobisher straits, and 
they instantly recognized them and said they had bred there but 
not in plenty. (Kumlien.) Known to breed in Greenland from 
the time of Otho Fabricus, and according to Holbel, extending its 
range to lat. 73° and even further. It strays also to the westward 
and was observed by James Ross, May 2nd, 1830, in Felix harbour, 
lat. 70°, long, 91° 53’ W.; obtained on Shannon island by the Ger- 
man expedition. (Arct. Man.) Coues obtained a single individual 
of this species at Henley harbour, Labrador, August 25th, 1860. 
(Packard.) Breeds at Ivigtut, Greenland. (Hagerup.) One shot 
by George Moses on Indian island, N.B., 1879. (Chamberlain.) 
A female was taken at Beaumaris, Muskoka, Ont., on September 
25th, 1894, by Mr. Taverner. It was among titlarks. The bird 
was identified by Mr. Ridgway and is the first record for Ontario. 
(J. H. Fleming.) At Chatham, Ont., in May, 1go1, I saw a speci- 
men in a case of mounted birds which was shot about 1889 near 
Chatham. (W. E. Saunders.) I have before me three specimens 
of the wheatear all of which were shot at Godbout on the north 
shore of the St. Lawrence, near the point where the river widens 
into the gulf, by Napoleon A. Comeau. Two others were seen, 
making five individuals noted within thirteen months. Mr. Comeau
