found in the country. {Arct. Man.) Very plentiful throughout 

 eastern Labrador ; breeds abundantly at Fort Chimo. {Packard.) 

 Not observed on James Bay until a short distance north of Fort 

 George when they became common; very abundant from Richmond 

 Gulf across Ungava to Fort Chimo. [Spreadborough.) Two speci- 

 mens taken at Chateau Bay, Labrador, July 14th, 1891. {Norton.) 

 A common summer resident in Newfoundland. {Reeks) The most 

 abundant land bird in northeastern Labrador ; common wherever 

 there was any spruce scrub. {Bigelow.) I have six nests and eggs of 

 this bird taken at Nachvak and Whale River, Ungava. {W. Raine.) 

 A very common summer resident in New Brunswick; occurs more 

 frequently at Grand Manan during migration. {Chambei lain.) A 

 tolerably common spring and autumn migrant at Scotch Lake, 

 York Co., N.B. {W. H. Moore) Common at Lake Mistassini, 

 northern Quebec. (/. M. Macoun) Taken at Beauport ; sum- 

 mer migrant in eastern Quebec. {Dionne) A scarce transient 

 visitor at Montreal, both in spring; and autumn. {Wv'tle) 

 First seen at York Factory, Hudson Bay where it was abund- 

 ant and where a small series, including old of both sexes, and 

 young just from the nest, was taken, July 12th to 14th. About 

 the post at Churchill it was extremely abundant July 23rd to 30th, 

 but after passing north of that point we saw no mo're until our 

 return when ascending Hayes River. {Prebles) York Factory, 

 Hudson Bay. {Dr. R. Bell) Fort Churchill, Hudson Bay. {Clarke) 



A common migrant in spring and fall at Ottawa. {Ottawa 

 Naturalist., Vol. V.) A sparrow that I have never seen in Ontario 

 in summer; neither did I observe it in June or July on the Mag- 

 dalen Islands. It commonly arrives in Ontario about the 15th of 

 May, and is plentiful by the 19th. It is very tame, frequenting 

 wood-piles and brush-heaps. In the fall I have seen it on Wolfe 

 Island, near Kingston, in September, but it is not so familiar a 

 bird at that season. {Rev. C.J. Young) A fairly common migrant 

 in the Parry Sound and Muskoka districts. (/. H. Fleming) 

 Transient visitant at Penetanguishene, Ont. ; not very common. 

 {A. F. Yotcng.) 



A summer migrant in Manitoba, probably breeding in the north- 

 eastern region. {Thompsott-Seton) Only seen at Indian Head as 

 a migrant between the 9th and 20th May. They were quite com- 

 mon for some time. First seen on May 4th at Medicine Hat,
