Turdas ustalatns swainsonii (Cab.) [4a.] Olive-baoked Thrnali. Hab. Eastern North Amcica, west to and including Rocky Mountains, and as far as East Hum- boldt ranges and the Upper Columbia. Breeds chiefly north of the United States, wintering from the Gulf States and Mississippi Valley southward to Northern South America. The Olive-backed Thrush breeds chiefly north of the l/nited States. It is g;iven as a common breeding bird in the Wahsatch Mountains, Utah. Mr. Kennicot found it nesting in the Arctic regions, frequently placing the nest not more than two feet from the ground. In his Catalogue of the Birds of New Brunswick,* Mr. M. Chamberlain gives it as a summer resident, breeding in abundance. Breeds abundantly in Nova Scotia. In some parts of Maine and New Hampshire it is the commonest Thrush, except the Robin, during the breeding season, f Mr. Frank H. L<attin has for two successive years found nests and eggs of the Olive-backed Thrush at Gaines, Orleans county. New York, within a short distance of his residence. Dr. Morris Gibbs has taken its nest and eggs in Kala- mazoo county, Michigan. It may be found breeding in Northern Ohio.

The nest is built in a bush or small forest tree, a few feet from the ground â usually from five to eight feet. It is composed of a mass of leaves, twigs, shreds of bark, and, in the Arctic regions, moss is one of the principal substances which enter into its composition.

The eggs are usually deposit- ed in the first part of June, these being three or four in number, of greenish-bl
