 (Raven.) 



An abundant species. They were shy, but hardly more 

 so than the Crow is in Massachusetts. The first specimen 

 was taken July 27, and another August 3. Hardly a day 

 passed that I did not see two or three of them, either 

 perched upon the cliffs or flying high uj) in the air, utter- 

 ing their dismal croaks. 



A pair bred this spri ig in an almost inaccessible spot, high 

 upon the cliffs of Cap au Meule, and another near Hospital 

 Island.
