Unfortunately regular notes on birds not observed as spring 

 migrants were not made From occasional notes on rare or 

 unusual occurrences, or events of particular interest, however, 

 the following additional data concerning the birds of Antigon- 

 nish County may be supplied. Certain familiar species, which 

 were presumably common or abundant, must, from lack of 

 record, here be conspicuous by their absence. 



72. Harelda hyemalis. — Old Squaw. — One male observed on 

 St George's Bay, not far from the entrance to Antigon'sh Har- 

 bor, January 31, 1914. 



73. Bonasa urnbellus togata. — Canada Ruffed Grouse. — 

 A not common permanent resident. 



74. Coccyzus erythr ophthalmia — Black-billed Cuckoo. — The 

 familiar, characteristic notes of a Cuckoo distinctly heard 

 June 20, 1914, doubtless emanated from one of this species. 



75. Sphyrapicus varius variiis. — Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. — 

 A pair observed September 27, 1913. 



76. Cyanocilta cristata cristata. — Blue Jay. — My only records 

 are of several observations of the species during January and 

 February, 1914.

 corded in September and October, 1913, and January, 1914.
