The Carolina Wren a Summer Resident of Ontario. — On September 

 5, 1905, while collecting in a thicket on the east shore about two miles 

 from the end of Point Pelee, Essex County, Ont., I secured a young male 

 Carolina Wren {Thryothorus ludovicianus) . This skin is now No. 315 in 

 my collection, and is the second record for Canada. The first Canadian 

 specimen was taken in February, 1891, at Forest, Ont., by Mr. Montague 

 Smith, and is recorded by mistake as being taken at Mount Forest, Ont., 

 in Mcllwraith's ' Birds of Ontario, ' p. 392. At the time I collected the 

 specimen above recorded I saw another Carolina Wren. Both were sing- 

 ing and creeping about very rapidly among the underbrush. 



On September 6, Mr. P. A. Taverner and I visited the thicket above 

 referred to. Mr. Taverner took a young male which is now No. 299 

 in his collection, and I secured two fledglings, both males, which are now 

 No. 300 in Mr. Taverner's collection and No. 316 in my collection. Be- 

 sides those taken we saw another, either an adult or a bird in the first 

 winter plumage. 



The two birds first taken were evidently members of an earlier brood, 

 and the two last members of a later brood. The presence of these fledg- 

 lings constitutes the first breeding record for Canada. — N. B. Klugh,
