BIRD BANDING IN ARCTIC
INTERESTING RESULTS. [from our own correspondent.] VANCOUVER, July 27. Bird banding operations have been carried on along the Arctic coast by an official of the North-west Territories, during a period of two years of investigation in Northern Canada. Three young duck hawks were banded on the north Yukon coast, and one of them was killed in Utah, six months after, having travelled 2300 miles in its migration south. Three young robins were banded at a point not more than twenty miles from the Arctic Ocean, lhe nest in which the young birds were found was in the northern-most clump of spruce on the Coppermine River, in the Northwest Territories.
