Annotated List of Birds of Yarmouth and Vicinity. 

 Southwestern Nova Scotia. — ^By E. Chesley Allen, 

 Yarmouth, N. S. 



(Read 8 November 1915) 



The following notes are based upon observations made 

 throughout a period of seventeen years. 



While the greater part of the observations were made 

 in or within easy walking distance of Yarmouth, a few are 

 on specimens sent in to Yarmouth taxidermists from the 

 adjoining counties of Digby and Shelburne. Where, how- 

 ever, birds are mentioned as having come in to local taxi- 

 dermists without any mention of the locality from which 

 they came, it should be understood that such birds were 

 taken within the limits of the three counties. 



Where particular localities are mentioned, it should be 

 understood that they are in Yarmouth County unless other- 

 wise stated. 



The lack of observations on the shore and sea birds, 

 as compared with those on the land birds, should not be taken
