the third largest lntthe history of can- vadlan salt mining being surpassed only in 1928 and 1929 the total production of salt including commercial salt and the salt content of brine used for chem ical purposes during thevcilendar year 1933 amounted to 280115 tons produc tion in 1928 totalled 299445 tons and in 1929 the output ws 330264 tons im ports in 1933 totalled 135620 tons a large tonnage of salt entering canada free of duty for use in the fisheries due to the location of the producing districts the pacific coast fisheries are dependent to a large extent upon imported salt exports of salt were comparatively small amounting to only 5335 tons the salt industry of canada is one of the oldest nonmetallic industries of the country dating back to the early iears of the last century when the hud sons bay company obtained their local supplies from the brine springs of the mckenifle basing the discovery of salt in ontario in 1866 was however the real beginning of the industry on a sub stantial basis and production from the ontario field has been continuous since that time the opening of the malagash deposits in nova scotia in 1918 inaug urated the first rock salt mine in the country while salt deposits occur to nearly every province of- the dominion during 1933 largescale production was confined to ontario nova scotia mani toba and saskatchewan deposits of commercial value have been located to alberta and new bruswlck which no doubt will be exploited when conditions warrant there is no commercial pro duction in british columbia although a few tons of salt were made experiment ally in 1913 in the northwest terri tories a small quantity is produced for local use the canadian 6alt production except for small exports is sold in canada principally to the dairy

species 0f birds in canada it is probably not generally known and the statement may cause somesur prise that there are some 488 distinct species of birds in canada by species is meant kinds of birds that average as distinct from each other as dogs from cats or horses from donkeys if really fine points are considered all the blrd forms that the expert ornithologist re cognizes viewing species as do cattie raisers when they discriminate between breeds of cattle then the species would bejnereased to about 690 subspecies or even more depending on how finely it is desired to distinguish all these birds cannot be seen at any one time or in any one place in canada or in fact any where else each species has its own season and limits of distribution some are sea birds rarely seen far from salt vuter some are denizens of the deep forest while other frequent open prairies marsh or meadow according to their natural requirements some are eastern others western some northern others southern many are just birds of pass- age through much of canada nesting in the high north wintering in the near or far south from just below the inter national boundary to the humid tropics or even to antarctica itself a certain proportion of these birds are just stray wanderers far from home tormblown waifs victims of wander lust or pioneers seeking out new territory to inhabit but with all these com plications and restrictions of distribution almostiwiy given locality in canada can boast of more kinds of birds than most people realize ottawa is nbt a particu larly bfrdy locality although the coun try over it occupies afalrly average or representative position in this respect yet the latest v of ottawa- birds now con tains 246 different species that have been actually observed in the canadian cap ital arid the adjoining countryside at one time or another leaving out the occasional stragglers that are likely to be seen only by lucky accident once or twice in a life time there are about 200 birds that any keen and active observer can reasonably expect to meet in and around ottawa sooner or later and one hundred is not too many to hope to see in one day at certain favorable mlgratlonal
