interior of Labrador, and Mr. Joseph Macoun found it com- 

 mon at Lake Misstassini. Dr. Bell observed it in the Straits 

 of Belle Isle, Turner took several specimens at Davis Inlet, 

 and one has been taken in Greenland. In Dr. Hall's list 

 of Montreal birds, as well as in that of Messrs. Dunlop and 

 WiNTLE, it is given as rare, and a similar report is made for 

 Ottawa by the Field Naturalists' Club. Mr. Saunders 

 considers it not at all common in Southern Ontario, and Mr. 

 Schoenan reports it as rare in Bruce County; but Mr. McIl- 

 AVRAITH, in his Birds of Ontario, gives it as quite abundant. It 

 winters south to northern South America.

As this bird seldom comes so far north, as southern New 

 England, its appearance in Canada must be considered as merely 

 accidental. The only known instance of its occurrence here is 

 that of a pair seen several times by Mr. John Neilson, near the 

 City of Quebec, during the first half of July, 1879.
