BIRDS OF ONTARIO. 1» 



Mr. Mcllwraith records the capture of one specimen at St. Clair 

 flats, the only one I have heard of. 



Genus BRANTA. 



60. Canada Goose. 



(Branta canadensis.) 



A regular sprinof and autumn visitor to our marshes but not 

 nearly so abundant now as formerly. Some probably breed in the 

 unfrequented marshes of the northern part of the Province, as they 

 bred in Southern Manitoba before the settlement of the country. 



61. Hutchin's Goose. 



(Branta canadensis hutchinsii.) 

 An occasional spring and autumn visitor. 



62. Brant. 



(Branta bemicla.) 

 A rare visitor. 



Subfamily CYGNIN^. 



Genus GLOB. 



63. Whistling Swan. 



(Olor columbianus.) 



Of somewhat irregular occurrence, generally a few are seen in the 

 spring. 



64. Trumpeter Swan, 



(Olor buccinator.) 



Like the last, rarely seen now. Some few of this species may 

 however breed in the northern part of the Province, as they do so in 

 Iowa, Minnesota and Dakota. 



Order HERODIONES. Herons, Ibises, etc. 



Suborder IBIDES. Ibises, etc. 



Family IBIDID^. Ibises. 



Genus PLEGADIS. 



*65. Glossy Ibis. 



(Plegadis autumnalis.) 

 An accidental visitor.
