59. AQUILA CHRYSAETUS, L. 
(GOLDEN EAGLE.) 
On August 16 some fishermen killed a large Eagle at 
Amherst. From the descriptioh of the bird, I believe it to 
have been Aguzla chrysaetus, although it might have been 
a young ffelaectus leucocephalus. 
60. LAGOPUS ALBUS, (Gm.) Aud. 
(WILLOW PTARMIGAN.) 
In 1876 a single specimen was taken at Amherst. The 
skin was preserved. It is, I believe, the only example of this 
species ever taken on the islands, and was probably a strag- 
gler from Newfoundland. I was unable to obtain the exact 
date of its capture. 
61. SQUATAROLA HELVETICA, (L.) Cur. 
(BLACK-BELLIED PLOVER.) 
The first specimens were seen August ro, but were very 
shy. I procured two on August r1, and after that date they 
were very common and quite tame.
