Regulus satrapa olivaceus Baird. 
Western Golden-erowned Kinglet. 
This kinglet is a characteristic component of the Sitkan fauna, 
yet was nowhere found common. On Admiralty Island it was 
met with in small numbers at Mole Harbor and Windfall Har- 
bor. At the latter place on May 9 a nest was secured by Little- 
john from a small, dense hemlock growing on the shore just above 
high-water mark. The nest was in a thick mass of foliage near 
the end of a branch about twelve feet above the ground. Its 
walls are composed of green mess and lichens closely felted to- 
eether, and the lining is a copious collection of feathers from 
erossbills, jays, and grouse, mixed with deer-hair. Owing to its 
being somewhat flattened from tight packing, measurements 
taken now are of no value. This nest contained seven fresh 
eges. These are plain white, profusely and finely dotted with 
clay color and vinaceous-buff, these markings condensing into a 
broad band or zone about the large ends of the eggs, in one case, 
midway between the two poles. The eggs measure: 14 x 11,

The golden-crowned kinglet was also found at Red Bluff Bay, 
Baranof Island, June 11 to 20, but it could only be considered 
rare there. At Glacier Bay a very few were noted on both shores, 
and specimens were taken June 30 and July 4. 
The six specimens secured (Nos. 306, 307, 312, 313, 326, 327) 
are all typical of olivaceus: 
Regulus calendula grinnelli Palmer. Sitka Kinglet. 
This, the northwest coast race of the ruby-crowned kinglet, 
was found to be sparsely scattered through the woods on Ad- 
miralty Island, in the neighborhood of both Windfall and Mole 
harbors. Two males were taken at the former place by Stephens 
April 19 and 27 (Nos. 298, 299). On Chichagof Island the 
species was noted as rare by Dixon at Hooniah, June 21 to 27, 
and at Port Frederick, July 25 to August 1. 
At Glacier Bay, June 27 to July 20, it was apparently more 
common than anywhere else: Miss Alexander obtained three
