Ilird-LiJ'c In Labrador. vSr) 







LEACH S PETREL 



Cjimochorca lenrorrlxxt. — (V.) CoUES. 



ISIoRE or less coiunioii. at least all through the gulf, and 

 one oi" the standhys, esj)ecially in " scjually " weathei". I 

 doubt if" any breed. I do not recolleet seeing it close in 

 shore on the I^abrador coast, though I see no reason why it 

 may not be connnon here as in the neighboring waters where 

 it was met wit: regularly. 



GREATER SHEARWATER 



PiiffiiiHn major. — Fakp:r. 



This is the hagdown or hagdon of I^abradoi", and more or 

 loss common, just oti* shore, all along the coast. I have seen 

 them frequently and watched their strong, graceful flight. 

 They followed our vessel in rough weather flying to and fro 

 across our stern and bows for hours at a time. I secured 

 specimens from the local hunters on shore, and am convinced 

 that it is a regular visitor. As I know so little of its general 

 (xteurrence I will not attempt to describe it further from ])res- 

 ent knowledge of its hal)its. 



SOOTY SHEARWATER 



Ftiffiiins fitlif/i)tox}(s. — A. Strickl. 

 A FK'W were seen by Dr. Coues on the Labrador coast. 

 They were in company with P. major. The habits of all 

 these species are probably not unsimilar. The sailors are said 

 to call this the " black hagdon." 



LOON GREAT NORTHERN DIVER 



Coli/mbus for(jiiaf !(.<!. — Brunn. 



This is an abundant l)ird in I^al)rador, where it breeds in 

 the inland ponds and lakes there so frequently to be met with.
