114. AMERICAN HAWK OWL. {Surnia funerea). 
This is a rare bird with us, but I have examined several 
specimens taken in the Province. A skin in the collection 
of the Natural History Society was taken at Grand Lake 
November 7, 1881. One was taken at Black River in July, 
another at Fredericton Junction in August, and another at 
Garnett’s in December.

115. WHITE GYRFALCON. (Hierofaleo gyrfaleo candicans). 
Several reports have reached me of “ White Hawks ” 
having been observed in various parts of the Province during 
the winter season, and Mr. Banks informs me he is certain 
he has seen two examples, one at Millidgeville and another 
near Sandy Point; and knowing that this Falcon should be 
found here, I have placed its name in the list on the strength 
of these reports. It is given by Dr. Adams as an accidental 
visitant to the Province.

peregrinus ncevius).

Martins.

winter. It breeds here.
