 Ayrshire, Scotland, Oct. 30, 1852; came to Can- 

 ada in 1873, and was graduated B. A, from \'ic- 

 toria TTiiiversily, Col)ourg, Ontario. Some years 

 afterward his alma mater conferred on him the

 Oiitariii. ho was ordained for special work 

 aniniig the Ulackfoot Indians, leaving iiv June 

 of the same year for Fort MacLeod, Northwest 

 Territory, accompanied by his wife. At this 

 point were gathered about 700 Blood Indians, 

 which number was subseijuently increased by 

 the arrival of Bloods and Blackfeet from Mon- 

 tana to 3,500. Mr, McLean settled upon the 

 reserve set apart for these Indians and dili-

 Hlackfoot ConfederHcy, and the results of this
