L. Umbagog ♦ Canace canadensis. 
1890. 
Sept.88. Pearley White's son shut two to-day on the path to Mollidgwauk 
and I bought them of him. They were together,he said, and he could 
find no others near them. One was an adult $ the other a young'male 
which had acquired nearly full plumage except on the head and neck. 
The $ had moulted recently and still had some jjin- feathers 
although the plumage was apparently perfect. 
The crop of the contained 51 berries of Viburnum nudum , 
some fragments of small mushrooms, and a few needles of the black 
spruce. The crop of the male had 13 _V, nudum berries, fragments 
of mushrooms, and a number of needles of the’.iarbh. The flesh of 
both birds was dark, tender, and wholly free from any smell of 
spruce. 
Aldana Brooks tells me that he found a nest last spring about 
June 1st. It was near the shore of Richardson Lake on low ground 
covered with black ash, birches, alders and a few larches. It was 
built-on the top of a low mound and contained nine (9) eggs. The 
ip was sitting and Brooks nearly stepped on her before she started. 
She fluttered off a few yards & then stopped & watched him. The 
nest was not near a log, rock or tree trunk as 
with the nest of the common Cartridge• 
is usually the case
