LIST. 121 



May 24, 1890. Mr. Craig received a fresh speci- 

 men of this bird to stuff which was found dead on 

 the snow in a field here in the month of November, 

 1890, and was evidently a belated individual, as it 

 was in good condition and showed no marks of 

 injury, but probably succumbed to the severity of 

 the weather at the time it was picked up. I have 

 not met with this species here in the autumn 

 months, and I think it must be an early migrant in 

 the fall of the year. 



S ubf amily Trog lodytidce. 



Genus Troglodytes. Yieillot. 



Subgenus " Troglodytes." 



231. House Wren. T. aedon. (Yieill.) 



" Summer Resident," scarce. Mr. Inglis observed 

 wrens feeding their young in his garden on Du- 

 rocher street in the summer of 1891, and Mr. Mc- 

 Keand saw a pair of wrens on Sherbrooke street 

 west in the spring of 1890, and which, I presume,, 

 were of this species. I have not secured a speci- 

 men of this wren here yet, as I. have never met 

 with them in the woods, nor in any place where 

 they could be shot, as they appear to confine them- 

 selves to the gardens within the city, and in close 

 proximity to dwelling houses.
