THESE birds unite about the middle of May. Mr. J. Macgillivray has. 

 remarked that he saw them 'in pairs about the middle of the month, 

 and they had the young fully fledged and strong upon the wing about 

 the end of July/ They had again collected into flocks by the 

 beginning of August. 



The eggs are of a pure white colour. Eight were laid by one of 

 these Geese, kept on the water in St. James' Park by the Ornitho- 

 logical Society of London.
