270 GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF CANADA. 
Bay. No record from any other part of the country. (Fackard.) 
One seen on the Humber River, Newfoundland, August 28th, 1899. 
(L. H. Porter.) A specimen taken a few years ago in Pictou Co.,” 
Nova Scotia, is the only one known except one in the collection of 
the late Dr. McCulloch. (Gz/gen.) Occurs in winter at Grand 
Manan, New Brunswick. (Herrich.) Taken at Lorrette; resident 
in northern Quebec. (Déonne.) A scarce winter visitant at Mont- 
real. During the winter of 1889-g0 this owl appeared at Montreal 
in great numbers and many specimens were taken. (Wintle.) A 
rare winter visitor at Ottawa. Only one secured in ten years. (G. 
R. White.) In southern Ontario this species is a casual visitor in 
winter only. I have seen specimens taken in Muskoka and at 
Hamilton. (Mcllwraith.) Sometimes abundant in the Parry 
Sound and Muskoka districts in winter. Occurs irregularly 
about Toronto, Ont.; it sometimes appears in southern Ontario 
in numbers, but is usually absent, such migrations are rare, the 
last one at Toronto was about 1889. (/. H. Fleming.) On 28th 
February, 1896, a specimen was taken on Toronto island. In Dec- 
ember, 1898, I saw one, taken at Whitney, on the Parry Sound 
Railway, and I was shown two fine specimens which were taken 
at Scotia Junction, on the same railway the preceding year. (/. 
Hughes-Samuel.) 
Rare winter visitor in Manitoba. Found chiefly along the Red 
River and at Lake Winnipeg. (Zhompson-Seton.) This imposing 
bird which was first described from Hudson Bay is by no means 
a rare bird in the Northwest Territories, being an inhabitant of 
all the wooded districts lying between Lake Superior and Lat. 
67° or 68°, and between Hudson Bay and the Pacific. It is com- 
mon on the borders of Great Bear Lake; and there and in the 
higher parallels of latitude must pursue its prey during the 
summer months by daylight. It keeps, however, within the 
woods and does not frequent the barren grounds like the snowy 
owl. (Richardson.) This fine owl is a common and well known 
resident throughout all the wooded parts of Alaska from Sitka 
north to the northern tree limit, and from the vicinity of Behring 
Straits throughout the territory. (JVe/son.) This species is a 
resident of the Yukon valley and was obtained on the coast at 
Uphim Slough, the northern part of the Yukon Delta. (Zzrner.) A 
rare species; shot at Sumas~only: ((Zo7d.) 2s tarersperics am 
have one specimen taken at Chilliwack, B.C., in November, 1887; 
and another that was taken at Stewart’s Lake, B.C., Lat. 54°,
