Knight Island (August 24). The latter two show considerable 
advance in the post-juvenal molt. 
It is probably safe to consider the Valdez chestnut-sided 
chickadee as one of the most characteristic as well as widely 
distributed land-birds of the Prince William Sound region. 
Regulus satrapa olivaceus Baird. 
Western Golden-crowned Kinglet. 
Represented in the collection by six specimens (nos. 1300- 
1305), from Hinchinbrook Island (June 26), Montague Island 
(July 30), Knight Island (August 24), Chenega Island (August 
31), and head of Port Nell Juan (August 16). Miss Alexander 
saw the species, also, at Cordova, June 6. And Dixon noted a 
family of seven in a salmonberry thicket at Hanning Bay, Mon- 
tague Island, July 31. Otherwise the golden-crowned kinglet 
was not found in apparently suitable localities. The specimens 
obtained present no perceptible peculiarities as compared with 
relevant material from the Sitkan district and California. 
Regulus calendula grinnelli Palmer. Sitka Kinglet. 
At Cordova, June 3 to 7, this kinglet was noted by Dixon as 
fairly common in the young spruce growth. At Canoe Passage, 
Hawkins Island, Heller found a male in full song among the 
spruces near timber-line, June 20, and secured it (no. 1379). 
On Hinchinbrook Island the song was heard daily; at Northeast 
Bay, on that island, two adult males were secured by Miss Alex- 
ander on June 27 and 30 (nos. 1372, 1373), and another by 
Hasselborg on July 2 (no, 1377). At Zaikof Bay, Montague 
Island, Miss Kelloge secured an adult pair July 11 (nos. 1380, 
1381). Two adult males were taken on Latouche Island, July 
18 and 19, by Miss Alexander (nos. 1374, 1375) and another by 
Dixon, on the same island, July 20 (no. 1378). Several were 
seen at the head of Port Nell Juan August 14, and on the 18th 
Miss Alexander secured a specimen there (no. 1376). This is 
a bird-of-the-year, probably a female, in a late stage of the post- 
juvenal molt; the colors of the new feathers are very deep. The 
species was last seen August 26, at Drier Bay, Knight Island.
