Mr. Watson Bishop, of ICentville, Nova 
Scotia, reports that he still has his domesticated 
Spruce Grouse ( Dendragopus canadensis). They 
are doing well. - 
He also has with them a Golden Pheasant and 
three Birch Partridges; also a Dusky Duck. 
His success in keeping these birds has been 
truly astonishing. 
As for eggs of the Canada Grouse ho is now 
the recognized headquarters for them, and he 
lias “raised” many sets of them from his 
domesticated birds. Indeed his eggs will be 
found in all the large collections in the United

19. Canachites canadensis canace. Canadian Spruce Grouse. — 
Of this species the late Hon. G. W. Allen says: “I hardly know whether 
I am correct in enumerating the Spruce Partridge as among the number 
of birds found in the immediate neighborhood of Toronto. I have never 
shot one myself, but I have had specimens brought to me, which were 
said to have been procured not very many miles from here.” 2 On July 
29, 1904, Mr. E. F. Handy, C. E., observed a covey of Spruce Partridge 
on the tracks of the Grand Trunk Railway near Zephyr (about 45 miles 
northeast of Toronto); on inquiring Mr. Handy was informed that there 
had always been a few in the swamp lying between Mount Albert and 
Zephyr. This is no doubt the most southern point in Ontario where this 
partridge is found. / J / % $ 3 3 \*J ! '
