The Canadian Field-Naturalist. 



[Vol. XXV. 



1921, number of the Auk. p. 147, the re- 

 vieAver there stating that he heartily agreed 

 with the views of the author, i.e. that birds 

 do not rely to any large extent on land- 

 marks to guide them on migration. How- 

 ever, we are all at liberty to hold our own 

 views on these very interesting, but in- 

 tricate, matters and having now clearly 



stated mine, it is not my intention to pur- 

 sue the subject further, seeing that it is 

 given to none of us to prove absolutely 

 what Ave may personally believe to be the 

 ansAvers to them all. The solution, like that 

 to the life hereafter, it is not permitted us 

 to see.
