BurNS—On BROAD-WINGED HAWK. 173 
(Turner); male (Ridgway); June, °96, Spreadborough found it 
common on Moose river, but hone were seen north of Moose Fac- 
tory. This may be considered its northern limit (Macoun). 
Southern extremity of Hudson bay (Blakeston). 
Maniropa.—Reported from yarious parts of the Province, where 
well timbered, and is generally distributed, though not abundant 
(Seton); abound everywhere (Brodie); very rare 'S. VY. on the 
Big plain. More com., and probably breeding in Red river valley 
(Seton). Fort Garry, Selkirk settlement (Ridgway). Winnipeg, 
S. R., rare breeder (Thompson); extends westward to Winnipeg, 
where it breeds (Macoun); abundant as well as Swainson’s (St. 
Croix); Carberry, doubtful record (Thompson); Carman, breed- 
ing (Forge) ; Woodland, set of eggs taken by W. Raine (Macoun), 
and by C. FP. Forge (Sharples col.) ; Ravenwood, sets of eggs collect- 
ed by Forge (Price col., Jacobs col.). Vivde Paik Dist., Duffryn 
Co., sets of eggs collected by Forge (Jacobs, Jackson and Sharples 
cols.). Portage la Prairie, regular and common breeder in the wood- 
ed districts. My first record was on May 1, 1897, when I collected a 
male, within the week I received a female—both of which I 
mounted. In May, 1900, between the 12th and 22nd, I took a trip 
on the Assinaboine river to Winnipeg and noted it regularly all the 
way down, and on the 16th a nest was found but it contained no 
eggs (Atkinson 21S.). 
SASKATCHEWAN.—I think that doubtless it will be found in the 
Alleghenian region of the Manatoba and Saskatchewan. that is 
reaching the Saskatchewan river on its easterly half. I cannot at 
present lay my hands on any records west of Manitoba (Seton ms.). 
ALBERTA.—Apparently a regular summer inhabitant of the south- 
ern part of the Athabaska region. On May 8, °03, we saw one in the 
wooded valley of the ‘Saskachewan near Hdmonton. It was in sus- 
picious proximity to an old nest and possibly intended to reoccupy 
it. Alfred E. Preble and Merritt Cary saw one on the Athabaska 
a few miles above Athabaska Landing on Sept. 5 of the same year. 
J. Alden Loring found a nest containing two eggs on Jasper House 
trail, 12 m. west of Ste. Anne, Alberta, May 27, °96. The female 
was shot as she left the nest and is now in the collection of the 
Biographical Survey (Preble), 30 miles N. W. of Edmonton, 114° 
W. long., and 53%° N. Jat. Fairly common, breeding preferably 
in low birch trees (Stansell).
