Branta canadensis. 1839, October 11. Shot in Bottle Brook Pond. Lake Umbagog. Moll's Rock. As I was passing the Rock Mr. Noyes called me in and showed me a fine Canada Goose which he shot this morning in Bottle Brook Pond. October 17. Lake Umbagog. On reaching camp Charley told us that a flock of about 25 Geese came into the lake at 6 P.M. yesterday and spent the night off the mouth of the river, leaving at 9 A.M. to-day. 1897, May 12. Lake Umbagog. Lakeside. Besides these Whistlers we saw a pair of Black Ducks. I am told by the Lakeside people that a large flock of Geese a- lighted in the lake on the 8th and another flock on the 9th while two birds were seen on the 10th. All these Geese were seen either between Birch and B Points or in Sargent's Cove.
