266 GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF CANADA 



Saw one individual on Missinabi river, Ont., in September. 

 (Spreadborough.) Edwards figured a specimen from Hudson bay. 

 We saw several of these birds as we were passing through Hell Gate 

 gorge and noticed two of their nests. (Preble.) 



A female was shot 30th October, 1883, at Casselman, near Ottawa, 

 Ont., by Mr. J. S. Castleman, and another was seen near the same 

 place shortly afterwards. (Ottawa Naturalist, Vol. V.). It breeds 

 in the Laurentian hills. (G. R. White.) Breeds in the rugged hills 

 of eastern Canada, and is frequently taken at Hamilton and Toronto, 

 but chiefly 3^oung birds. (Mclhvraith.) There are four Ontario 

 specimens of the golden eagle in the Geological Survey Museum. 

 They are from Odessa, Westbrooke, Woodbridge and Brampton. 

 (/. F. Whiteaves in The Ottawa Naturalist, Vol. XV., p. 249.) Near 

 Lambeth, Middlesex co., Ont. (/. E. Keays.) One captured by 

 Mr. A. Cole while feeding on the carcass of a horse west of Listowel, 

 Ont. (W. E. Kells.) Occasionally met with in Frontenac co., Ont. 

 (Rev. C. J. Young.) A golden eagle was killed at Toronto, Ont., 

 on October 24th, 1896. The only record in many years. I received 

 a golden eagle shot at Loring, Ont., about the first of March, 1897. 

 One was killed at Lake Scugog, Ont., on October 20th, 1897. I 

 received two females from Dunchurch, shot in March, 1 898 and three 

 more from Loring, two females and a male. It is a remarkable fact 

 that till 1896 I had not met with a single golden eagle from Parry 

 Sound. Bald eagles always abundant but no golden eagles. (/. 

 H. Fleming.) Very rare in Manitoba. Possibly resident. (E. T.Seton.) 

 A rare species in Saskatchewan, but was seen in the "bad lands" 

 south of Wood mountain in June, 1895, and in July of the same year 

 on the West Butte and at "Writing on Stone" on the Milk river. 

 Mr. Spreadborough believed it was breeding in the above locality. 

 (Macoun.) Only noted as an irregular migrant in Manitoba. Fre- 

 quently falls a prey to poisoned meat. (Atkinson.) One seen at 

 Crane lake, June 26th, 1906. (A. C. Bent.) 



This powerful bird breeds in the recesses of the sub-alpine country 

 which skirts the Rocky mountains and is seldom seen farther to the 

 eastward. (Richardson.) Extends north in the Mackenzie valley 

 to the Arctic coast. (Ross.) The whole of British Columbia, but 

 chiefly east of the Coast range, where it is a resident ; rarely west to 

 Vancouver island. (Fannin.) Resident but not common in the 

 lower Eraser valley. Not common in winter in the Cariboo district.
