WESTERN HOUSE WREN. Troglodytes wdon parkmanii Baird. Geog. Dist.—Western United States, except the Pacific coast, east to Manitoba, south into Mexico. A smaller and paler form than the last; habits and eggs indistinguishable. 722. WINTER WREN. Troglodytes hicmalis Vieill. Geog. Dist.—Eastern North America, breeding from northern border of the United States northward; win- tering from its southern breeding limit southward. The Winter Wren breeds from Northern United States northward. A number of records are at hand of its breeding in Southern New York, in Maine, New Hamp- shire and Vermont. The late Dr. Wheaton took young birds of this species in Central Ohio whose plumage indicated they had shortly left the nest. He was of the opinion that the bird breeds in Northern Ohio. Mr. Mcllwraith states that a few re- main to breed in suitable places throughout Ontario. Mr. Wm. L.
