236 GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF CANADA. 
At one time breeding in Nova Scotia, but now scarcely if ever 
seen. (Downs.) Very seldom seen in New Brunswick now, but 
formerly abundant. (Chamberlain.) Specimens obtained at Moose 
Factory, Hudson Bay, by Drexler, August, 1860. Verrill saw a 
single individual at Heath point, Anticosti, in 1860. (Packard.) 
Fort Churchill, Hudson bay. (Clarke.) Charlesbourg, possibly 
breeds in Quebec. (Dionne.) Common migrant in the district of 
Montreal, in 1862. (Dr. Hall.) Transient visitor; scarce. Two 
were shot the latter end of August, 1883, at Chambly, and one 
was shot September 15th, 1885, on the spur of Mount Royal; and 
two were shot at the latter place by myself, one, September roth, 
1886, and the other one September ist, 1888, both of which are 
now in my collection of bird skins. Mr. C. W. Johnson, of Lachine, 
says he shot fifteen wild pigeons in the woods, four miles north of 
that place on the 9th December, 1888. The specimens I shot 
appear to be a female and young male bird. I saw a female or 
immature passenger pigeon in a tree in Mount Royal Park, June 
4th, 1891. (Wuzntle.) A summer resident; breeds. (Ottawa Nat- 
uralist, Vol. V.) I shot a bird of this species about three miles 
west of Renfrew, Ont., in September, 1888. (Rev. C. J. Young.) 
A few straggling pairs are still seen in southern Ontario where 
they probably breed, but the large annual migrations have entirely 
ceased. (McIlwraith.) Breeding in an aspen grove at Northwest 
Angle, Lake of the Woods, Man., 1873. (G. M. Dawson.) Has 
been very rare for a number of years at Aweme, Man. The last 
individual seen was a male bird on Sept. 21st, 1902. The first 
arrival in 1899 was April 8th. (Criddle.) 
This celebrated pigeon arrives in the Northwest Territories in 
the latter end of May, and departs in October. It annually reaches 
the 62nd parallel in the warmer central districts, but reaches the 
58th parallel on the shores of Hudson bay in fine summers only. 
(Richardson.) North, on the Mackenzie, to Fort Norman; not 
common. (Ross.) Probably now extinct in British Columbia. 
(Fannin.) 
In Birds of Manitoba Mr. Seton shows that it still bred in con- 
siderable numbers in northern Manitoba, as late as 1887. While 
making an exploration in northern Manitoba, in the summer of 
1881, the writer had the good fortune to discover a small breeding
