Genus Scotiaptex. S wain son. 



117. Great Gray Owl. (Cinereous Owl.) S. cine- 



reum. (Grnel.) 



"Winter Visitant," scarce. During the winter 

 of 1889-90 this owl appeared here in remarkable 

 numbers, and many were shot aud stuffed by our 

 taxidermists, but since that time I have not seen 

 any. *

"Winter Visitant," scarce. Occasionally re- 

 ceived by our taxidermists to stuff. 



119. Saw Whet Owl. (Acadian Owl.) K acadica. 



(Gmel.) 



" Permanent Resident," common. I shot a speci- 

 men of this little owl May 24, 1884, in the woods 

 below Hochelaga, and I have the skins of a male 

 and female of this species which I shot November 

 22, 1890, on Isle Jesus, and April 21, 1891, on the 

 spur of Mount Royal. Another one was shot De- 

 cember 11, 1890, at Cote St Paul (Caulfield). Mr. 

 Dubuc has a young bird of this species stuffed, 

 which was captured a few years ago near Montreal.
