The ant 'thrushes were among 200 specimeng which the Mu seum has just received from him. They were found in the Paramilio region, 13,000 feet above sea level.

It is now nearly a quarter of a century since JAA, McKim, who estab. ysaed the nrst independent Adver- tising. Agency in this country, com- pleted the rather ambitioug task of publishing the first directony of Ca- nadian publications, . The nine suc- cessive editions of this valuable work provide the most complete and de- tailed record available of the growth of Canadian periodicals. The 1915 Edition, of which we have just received a copy, shows that three metropolitan ilies have reached or passed.the hundred thot | sand mark. A censug of the papers listed and described shows nearly 150. dailies, 7 tri-wegklies, 45 semi- weeklies, over 1,065 weeklies, about 40 pi-weeklies or semi.monthlies. 260 monthlies, 3 bi-menthlies, and publications. This means approximately one daily to every 10,000 families, and] one weckly to every 1,600 families. #rom this one would infer that for a' comparatively new country, Canada is well-read. A.
