This species probably breeds from about latitude 45° to the lower fur countries, and on the higher mountains to the southward. Few nests have been discovered. Rev. Frank Ritchie found one near Lennoxville, Quebec, and Harry Austen has taken another near Halifax, in which he found 1 1 eggs. The full song is much more elaborate and more beautiful than the bird has usually been credited with, for it has been described by writers who have heard only the thin, weak notes more gener- ally uttered. Mr.... Chapman describes this song as meUow and flute-like, " loud enough to be heard several hundred yards ; an intricate warble past imitation or description, and rendered so admirably that I never hear it now without feeling an impulse to applaud." Note. — Cuvier's Kinglet (JRegulus cuvierx) was placed on the "Hypothetical List" by the A. O. U. Committee. The single bird shot by Audubon in Pennsylvania is the only specimen that has been obtained, GOLDEN-CROWNED KINGLET. Regulus satrapa. Char. Above, olivej brightest on the rump; crown with patch of orange red and yellow, bordered by black (female and young lacking the red) ; forehead and line over eyes and patch beneath, dull white ; wings and tail dusky, the feathers edged with dull buff ; two white bars on wings ; below, dull white with buff tint.
