OCTOBEB,1902,] BIBDS OF KEEWATIN. l29 



Walton Haydon is referable to the eastern form. Forster recorded 

 Parun atricapillus from Fort Albany. " 



Parus atricapillus septentrionalis (Harris). Long-tailed Chickadee. 



One taken on the lower Echimamish June 24. Nutting reported a 

 specimen from Grand Rapids, Saskatchewan.* 



Parus hudsonicus Forst. Hudsonian Chickadee. 



We first met with this species on the Echimamish June 24. We 

 noted it again at Robinson Portage three days later, and found it com- 

 mon at Oxford House, where we secured a male July 3. We saw 

 several on an island in Knee Lake July 5, and a number near York 

 Factory July 13, collecting two on the latter date. On our return we 

 saw several on Hill River September 3. 



The species was first described by Forster from Severn River. ' It 

 is recorded from Fort Churchill by Clarke,'' and from Moose Factory 

 by Rhoads." 



Regulus satrapa Licht. Golden-crowned Kinglet. 

 One was seen on the lower Echimamish June 24. 



Eegulus calendula (Linn.). Ruby-crowned Kinglet. 



I saw one at Norway House June 17 and took a specimen on the 

 Echimamish June 24. It was common at Oxford House June 30 to 

 July 4. One was observed as we were ascending Hill River Sep- 

 tember 1. 



Forster recorded a specimen probably sent from Severn River;" Bell 

 recorded the species from York Factory/ and Clarke an adult from 

 Fort Churchill.'^ The catalogue of birds in the U. S. National Museum 

 collection records a specimen taken at Moose Factory in the summer 

 of 1881 by Walton Haydon. 



Hylocichla fusceseens salicicola Ridgw. Willow Thrush. 



The' characteristic 'veery' call note and song were heard several 

 times, and the singer was seen once as we floated down Red River 

 between Winnipeg and West Selkirk June 14. None were taken, but 

 specimens from the region seem referable to the western form. 



Hylocichla alicise (Baird). Gray-cheeked Thrush. 



Not met with until we reached York Factory, where a female and 

 two young just from the nest were taken in a dense willow thicket
