.631. White-eyed Vireo. 



Vireo noveboracensis (Gmel.) Bonap. 1824. 

 Audubon, Vol. IV., p. 148, states that a few were seen in Labrs 

 dor. {^Packard!) One shot at South Bay near St. John, N.I 

 {Chamberlain.) A single bird was observed for some minutes i 

 full song, and within five or six feet, on September 8th, 1895 

 along the Humber River, Newfoundland. {Louis H. Porter.) Ar 

 positive I saw this specijs, August 30th, 1901, at Glace Bay, Cap 

 Breton Island; and that I heard it several times before in th 

 same locality. {C. R. Harte.) About two miles from Woodstocl 

 Ont., we have a piece of woodland composed of small cedars wit 

 here and there a little grassy glade and some patches of haw 

 thorns and second growth maple; on the 25th April, 1902, 1 she 

 in this bush an example of this species ; this indentification ha 

 been confirmed by Mr. W. E. Saunders, of London, to whom 

 have sent the specimen. {W.D.Hobson in The Ottawa Naturalis 

 Vol. XVI., p. 163.) 



Breeding Notes. — In the first week of June in the year 189J 

 while skirting the top of Rosedale ravine, at Toronto, I came acros 

 this bird nesting in a large beech. The nest was built rather deepe 

 than that of the red-eyed and warbling variety and was hung in th 

 fork of a limb that reached down to about five feet from th 

 ground ; I was able to approach to within six or eight feet befor 

 the bird flushed, and so had a good chance of securing it ; no 

 being familiar with the white-eyed variety at this time, I wa 

 strongly impressed with the white iris, and on returning home i 

 proved to be the positive identification of this bird. {A. J 

 Goss) 



632c. Anthony's Vireo. 



Vireo- kuttoni obscurus Anthony. 1890. 

 This species may be considered a rare visitor to Vancouve 

 Island; I secured one near Victoria; this specimen, also two secui 

 ed by Mr. Maynard in the spring of 1891, near the same place ar 

 of this strongly marked race. {Rhoads.)
