Northward Range of Ammodramus lecontei. — On May 22, 1908, I saw 
two Leconte Sparrows on a low marshy flat in the delta of the Athabasca 
River, on the south side of Lake Athabasca, opposite Fort Chipewyan. 
Tried for some time to flush a bird, and finally, hearing a faint squeaking 
in the dry dead grass, rushed noisily forward, and succeeded in scaring 
one male up on a dead stump and shooting it. I considered this to be 
rather far north for this species, until I saw a specimen collected by Mr. 
Harry W. Jones, at Hay River, at the western end of Great Slave Lake, 
June 23, 1908. — R. M. Anderson, Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist., New York City.
