v \\\ THE BIRDS OF MONTREAL 



There are several birds in Dr. Hall's list of 

 which I have no record in this district since his 

 time, and therefore they are omitted in my list, 

 viz. : 



1. Dawson's Falcon (new species, Hall) " Falco 

 Dawsonis." 



I believe this falcon is the Black Gyrfalcon 

 Falco rusticolus obsoletus (Gmel.). The male and 

 female specimens are still in the museum of the 

 Natural History Society of Montreal. There is a 

 photographic illustration of the female in " Our 

 Birds of Prey," by Henry G. Vennor, Montreal, 

 1876. 



2. Small Pewee " Muscipeta querula." 



3. Parkman's Wren " Troglotides Parkmanni." 



The specimen mentioned in Dr. Hall's list as 

 having been shot in the vicinity of the city of 

 Montreal in the spring of 1861 is still in the mu- 

 seum of the Natural History Society of Montreal. 



4. Night Hawk (Mexican species) " Caprimulgus 

 Americanus." 



5. Little Grebe " Podiceps minor." 



6. Common Gull or Mew " Larus canus." 



7. Silvery Gull " Larus fuscus." 



8. Barnacle Goose " Anser leucopsis." 



9. Brant or Brent Goose " Anser bernicla."
