r 1 1HESE 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's Park by the Ornithological Society of London.
