Accipiter cooperi. — Mr. Spanner informs me that he has 

 received two specimens of Cooper's Hawk. One was shot on 

 September 18th at Scarboro', and the other on October 4th at

Phalacrocorax carbo — Black Cormorant. — A specimen was 

 shot on the Rouge River, in the Township of Pickering, in 

 November, 1888, by Mr. Silverthorn, the village blacksmith. 

 The bird was handed to Mr. Swallow, taxidermist, of Pickering 

 Village, who mounted it and held for sale for some time. He 

 may have it still.
