Dipper--Cinclus mexicanus Swainson.

Probably resident on many of the mountain streams but none
a personally observed. Dr. G. R. Baker has seen it several
imes on Sixteen Mile Creek, and there are definite records of

its occurrence on Morice River and on other streams in Bulkley
Valley.

Winter Wren—-Troglodytes hiemalis (Linnaeus).

Several were seen, and males were heard singing, numerous
times on Rocher Deboule in the last heavy forest just below
timber line. Undoubtedly these were nesting there. A total of
8 was observed in the woods at Sixteen Mile Lake in late August.
These were assumed to be transients. This record is of particular
interest because the species is not known to occur in the Cariboo
Parklands some 75 miles to the south. One specimen was collected.

American Robin--Turdus migratorius Linnaeus.

Common in many types of habitat in all the region visited.
Several were seen even on the alplands of Rocher Deboule and it
was reported to me that a pair nested on a mine structure there,
situated more than a mile from the nearest tree. At Summit Lake
a female with brood of nearly full grown young, and a nest con-
taining four large young built under the projecting roof of a log
house, were observed on June 25. At Bulkley Lake and at Francois
Lake robins hunted grasshoppers on the meadows where hay had
recently been cut; at Puntchesakut Lake they were seen feeding on
blueberries in the lodgepole pine woods The first migration of
some 25 birds was noted at Francois Lake August 8 and transients
were conspicuous thereafter. The largest flock observed, 40+, was
at Puntchesakut Lake on September 4 The single specimen collected,
Puntchesakut Lake, September 5, is typical of the race Turdus

migratorius propinquus Ridgway.

Varied Thrush--Ixoreus naevius (Gmelin).

Single individuals were heard whistling, or seen, as follows:
Puntchesakut Lake, June 1; Summit Lake, June £6, June 7; Chief
