A gentleman ofoiu- party obtained tlie tu.slvs of one of tlieni, whieh wcre about 7 inches long and nearly an ineh in dianieter. llegavding tlie deer of Labrador soine confusion exists. Twospecies, about equally common, are found throughout tlie peninsula in small, or less frcqufMitly in large (300 or 400), lierds. They are probably the following : TARANDUS KANGIFER, Brookes, var. CARIBOU. Woodland Otrib'iu, and TARANDUS RANGIFP:R, Brookes, var. (îRŒNLANDICUS. Barren Grouiid Caribou. ALCES MALCHIS, (Linno) Gray, the Moose, and CERVUS CANA- DENSIS, Erxleben, American Elk. Both hâve been reported as found in the .south western por- tion of Labrador, about north from Anticosti, but they are doubtless very rare and oeeasional only. OVIBOS MOSCHATUS, BlainviUe. Musl- 0.r. On the authority of Prof. A. S. Packard a single relie of this animal may be aeeredited to this région. Probably it was its most Southern limit in former times. DELPH1NAPTERU8 CATODUN, (Linné) Gill.

It is eqnally common at certain seasons oif the entire Labrador eoast, and great nunibers of tlieni annnally pass tlirongh the Strait of Belle Isle. ' Gray sqnirreîs are said to occnr hcre also, but I did not see any,' writes our author. The faihire to insî)ect the gray squirrel on the far-otf rocky coast, should not be attributed to ne<>-ligence or bad eyesight ; for Labrador is not only far north of its known range, but the i)liysiograi)hieal conditi(»ns that obtain there are sueh as W(»nld preelude its oeeupancy by this animal, even if the area were not latitudinaliy exeluded froni its habitat. The concluding mamnril is the little brown bat {VespertUlo subulatus), and the record wonld be more accepiable were it accompanicd by the name of tlie person wiio identified the spécimen. The list of birds contains one hnndrcd and eleven s|»ecies, and some startling statements. The record of the wood thrnsh {Jfi/locich/a vimtelina) bas already beeu (pieried by ?dr. Jîidgway, and I will only add that I hâve found both the hermit and ihe olive-backed thrush breeding along the north shore of the (Juif of Saint Lawrence, The pine grosbeak {Pinicohi enucleafor) is givcn as * com- mon in fall and winter.' It nncpiestionably breeds through- out Labrador, and I hâve myself found it breeding near Point des Monts. The common Junco is said to be ' not rare in s})ring and fall.' Ot course it breeds. The rock Ptarmigan {L(((/opi(.s rupesti'is) is cited as ' not rare. Generally common in winter.' 3'J Wheii tlie autlior, in rcfi'vrin^ t<» tho discovery of tho ncst <»f' tlu' kiiit;:; ouler (Soiii(deri<( .sjjcct(t!)iJi.'<) on an island off Min- uan, savs tliat ho bclicves tliis to l)i' ' the .fir.st record ot" this rare ncst f'ound on rhe Atlantic,' hc niii.st cniploy the terni Atlantic in a soniewhat re.strieted sensc, for the species is known to breed ahnndantly in Hndson's Bay and Davis Strait, and probably along Northern Labrador as well. IVlr. Stearns nuikes the oxtraordinary annonncement that the Pacifu! cidcr {Somaterca v-nUjni) is ' abundant in large docks is spring.' If this statenient can be authenticated, it is certainly a niost interestinti' and valuable contribution to ornithological science. The Arctic tern (Sfcnia tiKicriira) is given as ' an abundant spring and fall migrant in the gnif.' Large munbers breed at certain places along the coast. Under the head of ' lleptiles and Batrachians,' our author tells us that we heard frogs ' in the niarshes about the niouth of Pin vay River/ and enunierates Euna septentrional la and J'kthodcn gintinom as having been fouud by Dr. Packard. Without nientioning a single reptile he goes on to say, * The re|)tilian fauna will probably be enlarged, but not to any great extent, ' and passes directly to tiie considération of Hshcs. Turning to the list of plants, we find lô7 spcies enumer- ated, twenty-eight of which are gluniaceous and cryptoga- nious. rience oniitting the grasses and scdges, we hâve but 129 flowering plants, more than tilly of which arc included on tlie authority of the Rev. S. R. Butler, whose list was i)ublish- ed in the Canadian Natuvalist, in 1870. This leaves less than oi<''htv sDccies as the resuit of our author's botanical investiga- tions during one entire year and two summers. 1 hat this is not wholly attributable to the nuagre flora of Labrador is évident fnmi the fact that I hâve myself found, in an hour's time, nearly this number of species growing in a single locality not'reinote l'roni the seat of our author's labors.
