List of Birds and Eggs
THE writer of these Notes has for some time back
thought of preparing the following brief account of the comparatively
small, though somewhat interesting, collections
made by him and under his auspices while he held the
charge of the Hudson's Bay Company's Fur- Trade Districts
of Athabasca, i n the northern portion of the new Province
of Alberta; N ew Caledonia, i n B r i t i s h Columbia; and Cumberland,
i n the Province of Saskatchewan. A few of these
specimens were also obtained from Forts Rae and Providence,
Mackenzie River District.
Before proceeding further he must acknowledge that, in
accomplishing this important field work, he was much indebted
to the exertions, cheerfully rendered, of the following
gentlemen of the Company's service, namely: Factor W i l l i am
M. M a e K a y ; Chief Traders John Wilson. W i l l i am C.
K i n g ( and wife), John Reid, and Webster Scott Simpson;
and to Messrs. Henry MacKay, Charles Ogden, Joseph Mer-credi,
Joseph Hourston, Edward Haight, James Flett, Angus
Mcintosh, Horace Belanger, jr., and A . C. Murray.
Fully three- fifths of the Athabasca portion of the re-fc-
rred- to collections, made during the nesting season of 1SS0
and 1885, were forwarded to John J . Dalgleish. Esqviire, a
noted Scottish ornithologist, and the balance of both ( nearly
a l l of which was unfortunately destroyed by water en route
to Ottawa) to Dr. Robert Bell, the then Assistant Director
of the Dominion Geological Survey at the Capital, while
the whole of the considerably more important New Caledonia
collections of 1SS9. and that made i n Cumberland in
