October, 1902.] BIEDS OF KHEWATIN. 127 



Dendroica palmarum hypochrysea Ridgw. Yellow Palin Warbler. 



Turner recoi'ded a specimen taken at Moose Factory in Jul.y, 1860, 

 by Drexler," and Baird records one (under the name j))/Ji/h//'yM) taken 

 at Fort George, on the east coast of James Bay, in istil.* 



Seiurus aurocapillus (Linn.). Oven-bird. 



A spe<'imen taken at Moose Factory b}' Walton Haydon in the sum- 

 mer of ISSl is recorded in the catalogue of birds in the U. S. Kational 

 Museum. 



Seiurus noveboracensis notabilis (Ridgw.). Grinnell Water-Thrush, 



We saw our first water-thrush at Painted Stone Portage. It was 

 close to the edge of the water and was running through the under- 

 growth which fringed the foot of a clifF. On the afternoon of the 

 same day, June 2<ri, we noted another at Robinson Portage, and on 

 June 30 a third at Oxford Lake. When we arrived at Oxford House 

 we found the species rather common, and from there to York Factory, 

 as we descended the rivers, its sprightly song was heard daily. A pair 

 seen at a portage on Hill River July T were feeding young just from 

 the nest. Three specimens were taken in the marshy woods about York 

 Factory, where the species was common July 11 to 17, and one was 

 taken August 8 by Alfred E. Preble on Churchill River about 15 miles 

 above Fort Churchill. These prove to be intermediate between tioi'c- 

 horacensis and notabilis, but nearer to notabilts. 

 Murray received the species from Severn House." 



Geothlypis Philadelphia (Wils.). INIourning A\'arbler. 



Nutting records a specimen from the lower Saskatchewan (exact 

 locality not stated) that is apparentl}- intermediate in characters 

 between tolmicl and philad<'lph!a, but seems nearer to toliniel.'^ 

 Thompson, on the authority of Macoun, records the mourning war- 

 bler from Waterhen River and Swan Lake,' Manitoba, which are not 

 far to the southward of where Kutting collected. As the species has 

 been recorded also from various points to the southeast of Keewatin, 

 there is little question that it breeds in the southern part of the 

 Province. 



Wilsonia pusilla (Wils.). Wilson Warbler. 



Rather common in the undergrowth bordering a swamp at Robinson 

 Portage June 27. Several were seen at York Factory July 10 to 17, 

 one being taken on Julj^ 1-1.
