4 Massachusetts Audubon Society 



frequent winter visitants to the upper Mississippi Valley region, though 

 even there they can hardly be depended on. Their appearance in Massa- 

 chusetts has occasionally been reported, but there are no authenticated 

 records of them here for recent years. They are larger birds than our 

 cedar waxwings, being nearly an inch longer. They have white markings 

 on the wing, and the under tail-coverts are chestnut-rufous instead of white 

 as in the cedar waxwing. In habits and general appearance the Bo- 

 hemians are said to resemble the cedar waxwings. They should be watched 

 for.

CONSERVATION IN CANADA 



A review of the Conservation of Wild Life in Canada in 1917, written 

 by Dr. Gordon Hewitt and published by the Commission of Conservation, 

 Ottawa, states that in spite of the pressing demands upon Parliament made 

 by the war, the year was the most notable in the history of wild life con- 

 servation in that country. Not only were two most important acts passed 

 (Migratory Birds Convention Act and Northwest Game Act), but an inter- 

 departmental Advisory Board on Wild Life Protection has been created.
