same year. {^Ottawa Naturalist, Vol. V.) Often [found in places 

 where one would not usually look for warblers; the palm warbler 

 reaches us at Toronto early in May in fair numbers, and some- 

 times in the fall it is certainly abundant, as was the case during 

 the last week in September, 1899. (/. Hughes-Simuel.) Occurs 

 regularly at Toronto but is sometimes rare. (/. H. Fleming.) 

 Usually rare in the migrations, but sometimes quite common 

 around London, Ont.; not known to breed in this district. {W. E. 

 Saunders.) 



A fairly common spring and autumn migrant at Avenue, Man.; 

 first seen about May loth and last seen Oct. 6th, 1903. {Norman

 go north to breed. {Thompson-Seton.) Taken at Fort Churchill, 

 Hudson Bay. {Clarke.) One was seen on a small willow-covered 

 island in Hill River, September 4th, 1901. {E. A. Prebles.) A

 the Saskatchewan at Cumberland House, in a shady thicket of 

 willows, alders and ash-leaved maples. {Richardson.) North to 

 Fort Resolution on Great Slave Lake; rare. {Ross)
