28 . Myiodioctes pusillus (mis.) Bp. Wilson’s Black-cap.- A t 
Fort Fairfield this bird was common. We usually found them in icv s 
^ widow bushes, often in rather wet places. The birds were apt to go m 
companies of three or four or more. June 33 Mr Dwight caught a young 
bird just able to fly two or three yards at a time. The nest was no doubt 
close at hand, but the ground among the willow bushes was coveied 
deeply with brush that a diligent search for the nest showed noth, g 
Spt that it was not built in the bushes. The youngster showed m the 
most marked way the energy of disposition and rest ess ac m y 
characterize the adults. The species was not common at G.and Falls.

Wilson’s Black Cap. ( Wilsonia pusilla.) 
— In “New England Bird Life” it is writ- 
ten of this species : “ In female and young 
birds the black cap is obscure or wanting.” 
My friend, Fred. Daniel, shot one at 
Madawaska, on June 13tli of this year, 
with a crown of as deep black as is usually 
found on the male, hut which, upon exam- 
ination, proved to be a female. One egg 
was aboitt ready to be laid, and upon open 
i ing it with my knife there was disclosed 
the yolk and white in perfect condition. —

Sylvania pusilla. Wilson’s Warbler.— One specimen was secured 
at Tignish in an extensive arbor-vitse and alder swamp. This is a retir- 
ing species and is probably not uncommon if particular search be made 
for it.
