ever have when applied to the Canadian Fauna. The nomencla- 
ture and arrangement of species followed in the present u List” is 
that given by Mr. Robert Ridgway in his late revised edition 
of the “Nomenclature of North American Birds. 
1. Hylocichla mustelina (Gmel.) Baird. Wood Thrush. — Rare. 
Have found it along the borders of Brown’s Tract, in eastern Lewis Co., 
but only stragglers occur here at all. It breeds about Lake George (Dr. 
A. K. Fisher). 
2. Hylocichla fuscescens (Stefih.) Baird. Wilson's Thrush. — Com- 
mon in certain localities, where it breeds. 
3. Hylocichla aliciae, Baird. Gray-cheeked Thrush. — Occurs 
during the migrations. I have taken it as late as June 1, but am not 
sure that it breeds. 
4. Hylocichla ustulata swainsoni {Caban.) Ridgw. Olive-backed 
Thrush. — Tolerably common summer resident, breeding throughout the 
wilderness. 
5. Hylocichla imalascae pallasi ( Caban . ) Ridgw. Hermit Thrush. 
— Abundant summer resident. 
6. Merula migratoria (Linn.) Sw. and Rich. Robin. — Breeds more 
or less commonly throughout the Adirondacks, and is found in large 
flocks (often numbering over 200 individuals) in the fall, feeding upon 
mountain-ash berries and beechnuts. 
7. G-aleoscoptes carolinensis ( Linn .) Caban. Cat-bird. — Breeds 
along the borders of the mountains but rarely penetrates the wilderness 
to any great extent. 
8. Harporhynchus rufus ( Linn. ) Caban. Brown Thrasher. — Oc- 
curs with the last and the Wood Thrush about the western foot-hills and 
borders of this region. 
9. Sial’a sialis ( Linn .) Haldeman.. Bluebird. — Breeds sparingly. 
Have seen it along the Fulton Chain and at Big Moose Lake. 
10. Regulus calendula (Linn.) Licht. Ruby-crowned Kinglet. — 
Occurs during the migrations. 
11. Regulus satrapa, Licht. Golden crested Kinglet. — Common 
during the migrations and probably breeds. 
12. Parus atricapillus, Linn. Black-capped Chickadee. — Common; 
breeding plentifully. 
13. Parus hudsonicus, Forster. Hudsonian Chickadee. — Rather 
rare visitor from the north. A few may breed, occasionally, but are not 
known to do so. 
14. Bitta carolinensis, Gmelin. White-bellied Nuthatch. — Breeds, 
but not common. 
15. Sitta canadensis, Linn. Red-bellied Nuthatch. — Breeds 
abundantly.
