BIRDS 247 



June 10, 1906. Preble refers to a breeding bird 

 from Pelican Narrows, Churchill River, in the 

 W. S. National Museum, 1 and in fact Reindeer 

 Lake is well within the known range of carta- 

 densis. 



Observed south end Reindeer Lake, July 4 ; 

 Sucker Bay, Reindeer Lake, July 6 ; Fort Du 

 Brochet, July 17 ; lower reaches of the Cochrane 

 River, July 20, 21, 23, 24. Observed Cochrane 

 River, July 27, 29, 30, 31. There is an inland lake, 

 some twenty to twenty-five miles long, west of 

 Cochrane River, named by the Indians Wiskajon 8 

 Lake. This neighbourhood appears to be their 

 regular habitat. Observed Du Brochet Lake, 

 August 6, 8 ; north end Du Brochet Lake, 

 August 11 ; north of Fort Du Brochet, September 

 26 and November 5. 



The Northern Shrike is called by the Indians 

 the " White Wiskajon," and certainly its light 

 flight among thickets resembles that of the true 

 Wiskajon.
