October, 1902.] BIBLIOGEAPHY. 27 



The catalogues of the United States National Museum contain the 

 records of many specimens — mainlj- birds — collected at Moose Factory, 

 James Bay, by James MacKenzie, C. Drexler, AVilliam MacTavish, and 

 others between 1860 and 1870, and a few from other localities. Some 

 of these have been published; others are published for the first time 

 in the present report. Some of the specimens have apparently been 

 lost or exchanged. 



In 1878 and 1879 Dr. Robert Bell made some observations and col- 

 lections in the region between Lake Winnipeg and Hudson Bay, and 

 in 1884 made another collection on the west coast of the Bay. The 

 results of his work were published in the rejiorts of the Canadian 

 Geological Survey. 



In 1879 and 1880 Lieut. Frederick Schwatka made an overland jour- 

 ney from Camp Daly, near the mouth of Chesterfield Inlet, to King 

 William Land to search for traces of Sir John Franklin. The narra- 

 tive of this expedition contains much information concerning the game 

 mammals of the country, on which the party depended chiefly for 

 subsistence. 



In the summer of 1881 a small collection of birds and mammals — 

 afterwards acquired by the United States National Museum — was made 

 at Moose Factory by Walton Haydon. 



In the Auk for 1890 W. Eagle Clai-ke records a collection of birds 

 made at Fort Churchill previous to 1815 by Dr. Gillespie, jr. 



John Macoun, in the first part of a catalogue of Canadian birds, 

 published in 1900, records for the first time a few birds from the 

 region and contributes much original information regarding their dis- 

 tribution, derived mainly from observations and collections made by 

 himself and other members of the Canadian Geological Survey during 

 various surveying and exploring trips.
