Gray-cheeked Thrush {Hylocichla alicire alicice, Baird). 



An adult male -was taken at Wilson Creek on June 13th. At Pike River on August 3rd 

 I shot a large thrush in the thick bushes, but although a careful search was made I failed to 

 rind it. It was undoubtedly this species. No others were observed. New record for Provin- 

 cial Museum. (Idt. Oberholser.) 



Olive-backed Thrush {Hylocichla ustulata swaimonii, Cabanis). 



At Hot Springs on July loth I flushed a female from the nest, and immediately shot it. 

 The nest was placed in a spruce-tree, close to the tree-trunk, about 4 feet from the ground, 

 and composed of rootlets, moss grasses, a few leaves, and lined with dried grasses interwoven 

 with moose-hair. The eggs, three in number, were fresh, of a bluish-green colour, spotted and 

 blotched with lilac-brown markings, mostly at the larger end ; size, 0.70 x 0.90. An occasional 

 bird was heard towards evening in the dark woods during July close to Hot Springs. (Idt. 

 Oberholser.) 



Sierra Hermit Thrush {Hylocichla guttata sequoiensis, Belding). 



An adult male was taken at Wilson Creek on June 13th. One female was shot at the 

 same locality on June 28th. All the thrush were found scarce in the district we collected in. 

 (Idt. Oberholser.) 



Western - Robin (Planesticits migratorius caurinus, Grinnell). 



Fairly common. Birds, nest, and eggs were taken on June 6th at Atlin. Four nestlings 

 were found at Hot Springs on July 17th ; only one was taken. Several nests were found in 

 June and left undisturbed. 



Mountain Bluebird (Sicdia carrucoides, Bechstein). 



Common at Atlin and O'Donnel Creek, where a few pair bred. Four adults were 

 collected at Wilson Creek, two males on June 17th and a male and a female on June 30th. 

 Two nests were found at Atlin in June in buildings, containing eggs, none of which were taken, 

 as they were hard-set.
