PREFACE. For the past fifteen years, of the birds occurring in the vicinity of Montreal, before attempting to publish a list, which I believe to be a correct one, of the Avqauna of the district of montred. The species contained in the liat have been observed mostly at or near montreal, but when otherwise, I have given the names of credible observers. Considering the number of species of birds to be found in the neighbourhood of Montreal, it is not an easy matter for an individual observer, with limited time, to come across all of them, as it is necessary to be out often on the rivers and lakes, and in the marshes, swamps, fields and roods, in a district like Montreal, to obtain a correct knowledge of the birds occurring therein for instance, I have rambled over the same places, at different times and seasons, for several years, before meeting with some of the rarer birds mentioned in the list. The migration of birds, which takes place in the spring to the north, and in the autumn to the south, gives the observer limited time to notice the species that do not breed in his district, and, in many cases, linger only a few days in the spring of the year before returning to their breeding-places, and in the autumn to their winter quarters.
