N annus hiemalis Winter Wren 
Not noted by the writer, but Henderson reports it once in early 
spring and once in autumn. He heard it singing June 18, 1924, near Fort 
Assiniboine. 
Telmatodytes palustris Long-billed Marsh Wren 
Said to be usually a very common breeder on lac La Nonne, but this 
season entirely absent from it. Lake Majeau was the only lake where 
it was at all common and only occasional pairs were met about other waters. 
Ten specimens. Geographically these birds should fall well within 
the newly proposed subspecies T, p. laingi Harper (Occasional papers 
Boston Soc. Nat. Hist., vol. V, pp. 221-222 (Dec. 1926) ). They are slightly 
lighter as per postulated characters than the central Saskatchewan material 
cited as intergrading, or than Manitoban birds, but whether they depart 
far enough from typical T. p. iliacus for taxonomic recognition the writer 
is unable to decide without more typical iliacus for comparison. While 
in this doubt the writer prefers to refer these specimens tentatively at 
least to iliacus. 
Certhia familiaris Brown Creeper 
Specimens June 19, July 3, August 26, and September 28. A nest 
w r as taken in the Fort Assiniboine region by Mr. Rauch and presented 
to the Museum. Have made no subspecific study of these specimens. 
Sitta canadensis Red-breasted Nuthatch 
Fairly common in the heavier spruce. Noted through September- 
Said by Henderson to breed commonly. 
Penthestes atricapillus Black-capped Chickadee 
Common breeder everywhere. Three specimens have tails 2-05 
inches to 2-2 inches, and hence qualify for P. a. septentrionalis. 
Penthestes hudsonicus Brown-headed Chickadee 
Not uncommon in the heavy spruce and muskegs. Specimens from 
July 4 to September 25. The writer is not prepared to make definite 
subspecific identification. 
Regulus satrapa Golden-crowned Kinglet 
A few noted from August 10 on, and daily from September 6 to 
October 23. 
Regulus calendula Ruby-crowned Kinglet 
A not uncommon nester in the spruce. 
Hylocichla fuscescens Wilson’s Thrush 
Though reported common, it was only on June 12 and July 1 that 
we heard the song of this species. One was collected July 13 and others 
recognized the 26th and 31st. The specimen is too worn and faded to 
make satisfactory subspecific determination, though H. f. salicicola is the 
geographic probability. 
Hylocichla aliciae Gray-cheeked Thrush 
A few noted by Laing and Harrold through September. Three 
specimens taken.
