R. Mann, Ornithologist and Oologist, XIV, 1889, 176. 2 W. S. Kennedy, In Portia's Gardens, 1897, 221. BIRDS OF THE CAMBRIDGE REGION. 237 Mr. Maynard met with a Canada Jay at Newtonville, in early summer, about twenty-five years ago,* and there is a mounted specimen in the Essex County collection of the Peabody Academy at Salem, Massachusetts, which was shot near that city on October 25, 1878.* [Corvus coraz principalis Ridgw. Northern Ravbn. Wood, writing in 1634 of the birds wliich he found in... New England, says : • "The Ravens, and Crowes be much like them of other Countries,** and Josselyn, in the * Two Voyages,' published in 1674, asserts^ that *Hhe Raven is here numerous.** From these statements, and from those of certain more recent authors which need not be cited here, we may infer that the Raven was common and generally distrib- uted throughout the coast region of eastern Massachusetts and New Hampshire, with that of southern Maine, when the country was first settled. We may further assume, with reasonable safety, that Wood saw the bird very near, if not actually in, the Cambridge Region, for he lived at * Saugus' (now Lynn) during most of his stay in the colony, and his text indicates that he must have repeatedly visited the country lying about Cambridge and Boston.] 129.
