Early in November we had an extremely heavy fall of snow ; but the rest of the season was open and mild. Feb. igth, 1800. I left my house for Riviere Qu'Appelle [or Calling river]. The snow was then melted in many places on the plains. During my journey, which occupied 16 days, we saw only two bulls \Bison americamis] between Montague a la Bois [Bosse] and Riviere Qu'Appelle. " Hunger! " was the general cry at our establishments along the Assiniboine. Early in March the snow was entirely gone ; we were obliged to abandon our dog-sleigh at Riviere la Souris [Mouse river], and put our goods upon horses, yth. I saw a few vultures [turkey-buzzards, Cathartes aura] and cormorants {Phalacrocorax dilophus] at Riviere du Milieu, ijth. A flock of swans [^Olor americanus or O. buccinator] at my winter-quarters. i6th. Ducks and other spring birds. 20th. We made sugar of the bastard maple [ash-leaved maple, Negundo aceroides]. zp/t.

In a few days we experienced a dreadful snowstorm, which continued with great violence for three days, when there were three feet of snow upon the ground ; but it did not remain long.
