A VISIT TO NOOTKA SOUND 
21 
females and immatures were secured. The jays were exasperatingly scarce, con- 
sidering that in the vicinity of former camps in other parts of Vancouver Island 
they were frequently the most abundant species of bird. However, by following 
up every one seen or heard, we finally secured eight specimens. Of the Varied 
Thrushes we obtained about as many. 
Following is a list of the birds .seen at Nootka Sound, both at the Tahsis Canal 
camp and at Friendly Cove, during the time we were there, July 23 to August 11.

Besides these, numbers of gulls, scoters, and phalaropes were seen, but under cir- 
cumstances not permitting of absolute specific identification.
