to have his body taken to Montreal for

upon those who neglected to obey his
last request. Among other catastro-
phes that were to follow denial Of his
wish were the sudden death of the

scribing these curious birds was read
at the recent meeting Of the American
Association in Boston by Mr. John
Murdoch. They follow the advance of
rhe ice towards the south as winter
comes on. keeping near the loose edge
of the floating pack ice, and then re-
treat with it toward the north when
the summer sun begins to rise high
unon the Arctic circle. The bird is
