New Brunswick Notes. — It is evidently news to ornithologists that 

 the American Robin {Merula migratoria) should be a winter resident in 

 New Brunswick, yet such is without a doubt true. A big-game hunter 

 informed me that about a large spring near the headwaters of the Nepis- 

 iquit River Robins were seen about the 20th of December, 189S. In the 

 latter part of March, 1899, this locality was again visited and the Robins 

 were there to the number of about fifty. 



The Robins leave this locality (Scotch Lake) late in October or early 

 in November, returning generally in the first week of April, but some- 

 times in the latter part of March. This locality is situated about 46° N., 

 quite a distance south of the Nepisiquit.
