BurRNS—ON BrROAD-WINGED HAWKE. 171 
LOCAL DISTRIBUTION. 
Carpe BrREeTON ISLAND.—One seen (Towmsend); not uncom.— 
Townsend (Macoun); Macoun has evidently misquoted. I have 
looked up my notes on the subject and find that I saw the bird 
at Ingonish on Aug. 29, 705; and from my notes and my memory 
of the case I think the diagnosis was correct (Townsend ms.). 
Nova Scorra.—Very rare, two doubtful records, one obtained in 
the market Sept., 88, and another supposed to have been shot at 
Stewiacke (Downs). Rare S. R. according to H. F. Tufts (Ma- 
coun). 
I took an immature male at Sherbrooke, Guysboro Co., in Aug. 
703, the only definite data, although in Kings and Annapolis Cos., 
at different times, I ‘have seen hawks that J identified as the 
Broad-winged (Tufts ms.). 
New BrRuNSWIcK.—Given by Boardman in 1903 as abundant, and 
by Macoun, same year, as a rather rare S. R. About the Islands 
of the Bay of Fundy, S. V., com., breeds (Boardman). Occurs in 
St. John and King Cos., Dr. Adams states that the Red-tailed and 
Broad-winged are the most abundant Hawks in the interior (Cham- 
berlain). St. John’s, breeding (Banks, Dayie). Victoria Co., 
Grand Falls, not com. (Batchelder). 
QUEBEC.—Saguenay Dist., Godbout, very com., some years very 
abund. migrant and apparently does not nest much along our coast 
line, but seems.to direct itself much further north (Comeau ms.). 
Temiscouta Co., Trois Pistoles, one capture in five years’ study, an 
‘immaturé, about Oct. 5, 06 (Le Chasseur ms.). Stanstead Co., 
Coaticork [Coaticook], Mr. Woodward sent up a female, lately 
doubtless nests in the Province (Couper). Montreal, not com. 
(Wintle) ; mention (Shaw); 8S. R., com., more plentiful during the 
migratory period (Wintle). Quebec, Mr. John Neilson considers it 
com. near the city (Chamberlain). Labelle Co., Inlet.—50 m. N. E. 
Ottawa—single individual Apr. 25, 27 and 28, ’05 (Wifrig ms.). 
OnTaARIO.—In 1886 MelIlwraith gives it as very com. in spring in 
southern part, a few remain to breed, but the greater number pass 
on N. W., and in the western part Morden and Saunders find it 
sometimes com. in flocks during migrations, at other times single 
individuals are rather rare. In 1890, a very rare S. R. according 
to Thompson. In the southern part one of the commonest hawks 
(Fleming). Macoun states that it is increasingly com. as we go 
west in the valley of the St. Lawrence and found all over Ontario. 
He also quotes Rev. C. J. Young, under the head of the Red- 
shouldered Hawk, that this bird becomes rare in eastern Ont., 15 
to 20 miles north of the St. Lawrence, and 50 miles back it is al- 
most unknown, its place seemingly taken by the Broad-wing. Rev.
