A Remarkable Migration of Canada Jays. — On the 5th of September, 
1884, Mr. Napoleon A. Comeau wrote me from his home at Godbout, on 
the north shore of the entrance to the Gulf of St. Lawrence: “We have 
lately had a most extraordinary migration of the Canada Jay (Perisoreus') . 
One afternoon I counted over a hundred in the open space near the old 
Hudson’s Bay Company’s house here; and almost every day since the first 
of this month it has been the same. I believe this unprecedented flight 
must be owing to scarcity of berries in the interior, and, since they hap- 
pen to be plentiful along the coast this fall, the birds follow the shore to 
feed on them.” — C. Hart Merriam, Locust Grove , New York.
