to salmon fisheries of the Gaspe coast. As ih - ?• 
serious, and as systematic effort was being made to se < i ■ 
lative assistance in controlling the damage, the writer was to- 
talled by the Director of the Survey to investigate the charges 
and report upon them. ' 
In pursuance of this object, accompanied by C. H. Young 
and F. C. Hennessey, T proceeded to Perc6 village, Gaspe county, 
Que., on the north shore and near the mouth of Chaleur bay, 
arriving June 21. We remained in this locality until July 24, 
collecting as many as possible of the birds and studying their feed- 
ing habits. We then removed to Gaspe basin and continued the 
work there for two weeks in greater detail, securing evidence from 
h ffionmen, river guardians, and others of experience on the sal* 
•. rivers. Throughout the work we were ably and courteously 
h >vd by the local officers of the Fisheries department, especially 
* -der Wakeham of the S. S Princess , Mr. Chas. Lind* 
v. local hatchery, and Mr. Arthur Eden, his assistant, who 
was og in rendering assistance.
