by Miss Alexander and Hasselborg (nos. 1292-1299). They 
were obtained from large mixed flocks of warblers, chickadees, 
and kinglets which were roving through the upper foliage of 
the cottonwoods. <All eight examples are birds-of-the-year, in 
complete first winter plumage. 
Wilsonia pusilla pileolata (Pallas). Pileolated Warbler. 
Well represented in the region as regards both numbers and 
distribution; observed not uncommonly in the alder thickets at 
the head of Cordova Bay, the middle of June; also in the latter 
half of the month on Hawkins and Hinchinbrook islands. At 
both Hanning Bay and Zaikof Bay, Montague Island, in July, 
and on Green and Latouche islands the species proved to be 
one of the commonest birds in the forest. At the head of Port 
Nell Juan, August 14, both old and young were noted. The 
species was seen at Drier Bay, Knight Island, August 26; and 
as late as the middle of September several were seen in alders 
at Valdez Narrows. At least one example was obtained at each 
of the above localities, resulting in a series of twelve specimens 
(nos. 1332-1343), These happen to be all in more or less worn 
breeding or post-breeding plumage, but are nevertheless unequiv- 
ocally referable to the race pileolata as understood since Ridg- 
way separated the California race, W. p. chryscola. 
Anthus rubescens (Tunstall). American Pipit. 
A few noted at the edge of a marsh and on the sandbars at 
the head of Cordova Bay, and a pair taken there by Dixon, 
June 13 (nos. 1309, 1310); the female contained an egg with 
fully formed shell, so that the species doubtless breeds in the 
near vicinity. Several individuals were seen on a mountain near 
Janoe Passage, Hawkins Island, June 22. Miss Alexander saw 
some pipits on Hinchinbrook Island, June 29, where they were 
flying about a peak at about 1900 feet altitude, and behaving as 
though nests were close by. On Montague Island, July 30, the 
species was seen on the uplands near Hanning Bay; and near 
Zaikof Bay, July 7, on a mountain at 1600 feet altitude, Dixon 
found a nest containing three small young. The nest was close 
to a snowbank, and hidden from view under an overhanging
