408 GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF CANADA. 



.Abundant resident in New Brunswick. (Chamberlain.) Not 

 uncommon in the Restigouche valley, N.B. {Brittain & Cox.) 

 Abundant on Anticosti where it is a resident. {Brewster.) Remains 

 all the year at Lake Mistassini in northern Quebec. (/. M. Macoun.) 

 Taken at Beauport; a common resident in Quebec. (Dionne.) 

 Seen only in the woods in summer; approaches the settlements in 

 Grenville, Que., in October. (D' Urban.) Transient visitant ; 

 scarce in the Montreal district; this jay visits us from the north 

 in the autumn, but I have met with them in the spring of the year. 

 (Wintle.) Permanent resident at Scotch Lake, York county, N.B.; 

 but becoming scarce. Have never found a nest of this species, 

 but have seen them carrying nest material in the latter part of 

 March. They took wool and straw from robin's and cedar bird's 

 nests. (W. H. Moore.) 



This species rarely visits the immediate neighbourhood of Ottawa, 

 though common in the hills to the north of it. (Ottawa Naturalist, 

 Vol. V.) Noted at several places near Ottawa, Ont., in 1903-4. 

 First seen September 28; by October 13 they were quite near 

 Ottawa, and on October 1 5 I saw three on the driveway in the heart 

 of the city. (Rev. G. Eifrig.) Common along the Ottawa in county 

 of Renfrew near the lumber camps. It breeds very early in spring. 

 I have seen one as far south as the county of Leeds, near Westport, 

 Ont. During the winter of 1905 it was quite common in the vicinity 

 of Madoc, Ont., one pair remaining so late as April 22, which led me 

 to believe that they did not go far north to breed. (Rev. C. J. 

 Young.) A specimen of this species was taken at Aylmer, Ont., 

 November 9, 1901. (J. H. Ames.) In the winter of 1839-40 a 

 considerable migration of this species occured at Toronto, Ont. 

 There are no further records till October, 1904, when another migra- 

 tion visited southern Ontario and a number of birds were taken at 

 Toronto and other points on Lake Ontario. Common in the Parry 

 Sound district ; reported only as a winter resident in Muskoka by Mr. 

 Kay. (/. H. Fleming.) Found very abundant at Whitney, Ont., 

 near Algonquin park, in" the fall and winter of 1898. (J.Hughes- 

 Samuel.) Reported from North Bruce, but not reported from the 

 London district. (W. E. Saunders.) 



Fort Churchill, Hudson bay. (Clarke.) This species was reported 

 at Norway House, Keewatin, and was seen nearly every day from 

 there to York Factory; specimens were taken on the Echimamish,
