Regulus satrapa. (Begin new sheet). 36. Our Present Knowledge of the Nidification of the American Kinglets. Ernest Ingersoll. Little more can be said in respect to the Golden-crested Kinglet (Regulus satrapa; Licht.). Its range is nearly as extensive, but more northerly; it does not descend in winter beyond Mexico. Nothing is known with certainty of its breeding anywhere in the United States, although it may be found to do so in the northern moun- tainous portions. Mr. Thomas G. Gentry is confident that it nidi- ficates in cavities in the tall trees which crown the heights of Eastern Pennsylvania, despite the generally accepted notion that it follows its foreign cousin in building a pensile nest and laying white eggs, finely sprinkled with buff dots, in size about equal to those of Humming-birds. It has also been inferred that this Kinglet raises two broods in a season. Mr. Nuttall and Dr. Cooper both found it feeding full-fledged young on the Columbia River, on May 21; and Audubon observed the same thing in Labrador in August. Mr. Maynard found it common at Lake Umbagog, Me., in June; he says it breeds there, and that, judging from the condition of female specimens dissected, it deposits its eggs about June 1. Several pairs were found in the thick woods there, but no nests could be discovered; he thought they built, probably, in the long hanging- moss so abundant on the trees in those northern forests. Mr. Her- ricks puts it down positively as breeding on the island of Grand Menan, and Dr. Brewer in Maine. Mr. Allen informs me that he met with young, attended by the parents, the third week in August, 1876, on Mount Monadnock, New Hampshire, which he has no doubt were hatched in the immediate vicinity. Mr. J. K. Lord states that these birds were abundant on Vancouver's Island and the adjacent coast, where he found them building pensile nests suspended from the tips of high pine branches, in which they laid from five to seven eggs. He does not describe the eggs, which was hardly to be ex- pected, perhaps, considering the half-use he seems to have made of his opportunities. Herr F. W. Baedeker has figured the egg in the “Journal für Ornithologie” (1856, p. 33, Pl. I, Fig. 8), and also in his large work on the eggs of the birds of Europe. Dr. Coues observes, in a pri- vate communication to me, “The plate indicates a rather roundish egg, though the two specimens figured differ noticeably in size and shape; they are spoken of in the text as ‘niedliche kleine Eirchen mit lehmgelben ben Flekschen auf weissen Grunde,’ and compared with those of other species illustrated on the same plate.” Regulus cuvieri, described by Audubon from a specimen taken near the banks of the Schuylkill River, has remained unknown to ornithologists ever since. than the Ruby-crowned.
