CATALOGUE OF CANADIAN BIRDS. 279 
Taverner, at Muskoka lake, May 22nd, 1898. The nest was on a 
ledge of a cliff overhanging the water, twenty-five feet from the top 
of the cliff and seventy feet above the water. The nest was only a 
slight hollow on a ledge two feet wide, the half-devoured remains 
of a ruffed grouse and pileated woodpecker were lying on the ledge 
near the nest. Mr. Wenman has collected for me two sets of eggs 
on the banks of Blindman river, Alberta. There was no nest in 
either case, the eggs being simply laid on the gravel. A pair nest 
on Scearboro cliffs, seven miles west of Toronto, and three miles from 
my house, but the nest is inaccessible. (W. Razne.) 
356a, Peale Faicon. 
Falco peregrinus pealet RIDGW. 1880. 
Mainland of British Columbia and on Vancouver island. Chiefly 
coastwise. (Fannin.) Mounted specimens of this form were seen 
in the shop of Mr. Inglis, Vancouver, B.C. (Rhoads.) An immature 
female was shot in Hecate strait, a few miles off Scudder point, 
Burnaby island. Several others were seen near Provost island 
and in Houston Stewart channel, B.C. (Osgood.) One specimen 
taken at Chilliwack, B.C., October 5th, 1901. (Spreadborough.) 
Along the southwestern coast of Alaska, from Kadiak to Sitka, 
this dark handsome variety of the duck hawk is found, perhaps 
entirely replacing its more eastern and northern relative. It has 
not been recorded from the interior or northern portion of the 
territory to the north of the Alaskan mountains; but it is known 
to extend to the extreme western end of the Aleutian chain. 
(Nelson.) One flew around the Corwin, when we were some distance 
south of the Aleutian islands and out of sjght of land, October 7th, 
1899. (Bishop.) This falcon was frequently observed on Amchitka 
island in the month of June, 1881; and on Attu island during 1880 
and 1881. It breeds on nearly all the islands of the chain, and is 
a winter resident of the Nearer group at least. On Agattu it is 
reported to be very common; and on Amchitka I knew of three 
nests on the ledges of the high bluffs hanging over the sea. (Turner.) 
357. Pigeon Hawk. 
Falco columbartus LINN. 1758. 
This species was scattered all across the district of Ungava from 
the mouth of Whale river almost to Fort Chimo in the summer 
of 1896, and others were taken off Cape Chidley in Hudson strait ;
