accidentally stop in Canada during the spring and autumn
migrations, I have in my collcction a specimen of each bird
described, except a fen- of the sea birds that frequent the coasts
of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. The information given as to the
food and habits of our birds may probably interest and belefit the
agriculturist. The great majority of our feathered visitors arc
