mon summer resident at Guelph, Ont. Arrives about May 29th, 

 and leaves about Sept. 26th. (A. B. Klugh.) A common and breed- 

 ing summer resident at Penetanguishene, Ont. {A .F. Young.) 

 Recorded by Baird from Moose Factory, at the f 00: of James 

 Bay, where it was collected by Drexler on Aug. 26th, i860.

 A. Prebles.) 



Not seen at Pembina, but found at various other points along 

 the 49th parallel, and ascertained to be particularly abundant in 

 the Rocky Mountains. (Coues.) A common summer resident of 

 woodlands in Manitoba. On July 22nd, 1884, at Portage la 

 Prairie, found a nest of a cedar bird in the woods near the river. 

 It was placed on the branch of a low oak, and was much the same 

 as a specimen taken in the eastern provinces. It contained two 

 fresh eggs, from which I infer that the species is a very late 

 nester here. [Thompson- Seton) Three individuals were seen at 

 Indian Head, Assa., on June 2nd, and later they became common, 

 they breed here; apparently breeding at Old Wives' Creek in 

 June, 1895; s^^" '" numbers at Waterton Lake the same year; 

 quite common along Peace River, Lat. 56", in July, 1903; com- 

 mon from Edmonton to Athabasca Pass in June 1898 ; ob- 

 served a number of individuals at Jumping Pound Creek, near

 same year ; a common breeding species at Banff, Rocky 

 Mountains, in June, 1891; abundant at Deer Park and Robson, on

 Bridge; one pair seen at Kamloops, June i8th, 1889; seen in 

 flocks in the fall feeding on the fruit of black elder and thorn at
