102 GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF CANADA. 
Island. Two immense blocks of rocks had become detached from 
the cliff above, and when they fell their edges formed a hollow 
place beneath. Under these rocks I discovered a deserted nest, 
which the native who was with me asserted was that of a bird of 
this species. The form was similar to that of the nest of #7. 
hyematts, and in fact so closely resembled it that I persisted in it 
being of this bird until the native asked me if I did not know 
that the ‘‘ Old Squaw ” did not build in such places. (Zzrner.) 
MUSEUM SPECIMENS. 
Two specimens. One procured in Hudson Bay by Dr. R. Bell; 
the other shot at Banff, Rocky Mountains, by Mr. W. Spread- 
borough. 
LIV. CAMPTOLAIMUS Gray. 1841. 
156. Labrador Duck. Pied Duck. 
Camptolaimus labradorius (GMEL.) GRAY. 1841. 
Now extinct. Formerly abundant on the Labrador coast. Mr. 
William Dutcher, in an able paper published in The Avk, tor 
January, 1894, shows, although 1852 has been given as the date 
when the last specimen of this species was killed, that, from 
that date to 1875, occasional specimens were taken and vouched 
for as being seen in the flesh. He can find no trace of the bird 
being seen since 1875 so that he reluctantly concludes it is extinct. 
LV. ENICONETTA Gray. 1840. 
157. Steller’s Duck. 
Eniconetta stelleri (PALL.) GRAY. 1840. 
The coasts and islands of Behring Sea may be given as the 
eastern range of this duck. Westward from there it breeds 
in tens of thousands on the coast of Siberia. Throughout the 
Aleutian chain it is acommon resident, very abundant in winter, 
but less common in summer. It also breeds upon St. Lawrence 
Island and a nest has been taken on Unalaska. (JVelson.) This 
duck is rare at St. Michael ; on the southern and eastern shores 
of Bristol Bay and the northern shores of Alaska it is plentiful. 
Among the Aleutian Islands it is rarely seen in summer, In winter
