tario, so far as I have heard. (Mcllwraith.) Mr. John Boyd, of 

 Sarnia, has a specimen which he beheves was taken at the Humber 

 in 1889 but he was never able to trace the bird back to the original 

 collector. (/. H. Fleming.) This has been found to be a constant 

 and not very rare resident of the vicinity of Pelee point, Lake Erie. 

 (W. E. Saunders.) Mr. P. A. Tavemer's paper on the occurrence 

 of this species in Michigan should be read in this connection. See 

 The Wilson Bulletin, Vol. xviii., p. 17. 



683o. Long-tailed Chat. 



Icteria virens longicauda (Lawr.) Coues. 1872. 



In the bushes which line the banks of the Thompson river, below 

 Ashcroft, B.C., I secured two males of this species; another was 

 heard singing on a ranch above the town. (Rhoads.) Two taken 

 in bushes along the Similkameen river, B.C., near its mouth, June, 

 1905. (Spreadborough.) From Kamloops south through the

CCLVIII. WILSONIA Bonap. 1838. 



684. Hooded Warbler. 



Wilsonia mitrata (Gmel.) Bonap. 1838. 



Mr. Nerval reports finding this species occasionally, at Port Rowan, 

 on the north shore of Lake Erie, and I once found a young male 

 near Hamilton, Ont. It was found towards the end of May when 

 there had been a big bird-wave the previous night, and this one had 

 heen apparently carried away in the crowd. (Mcllwraith.) A 

 specimen of this warbler, rare in Ontario, was captured at Cataraqui, 

 near Kingston, Ont., and is now in the collection of a resident there. 

 (Rev. C. J. Young.) Some specimens were taken in the spring by 

 Atwater near Rondeau, Ont., about 1884. One was taken in May, 

 1906 near Woodstock, Ont., by Mr. J. A. Cole. (W. E. Saunders.) 



685. Wilson Warbler.
