The first of these, of which the Smithsonian number is 13895, have the 
accompanying ticket marked as taken by Esquimaux; the second, of which the 
corresponding number is 8929, are said to have had the hen bird snared from the 
nest. Both sets were from Mr. MacFarlane’s expedition, where he states (Proc. 
U.S. Nat. Mus. xiv. p. 441) that ‘ eighty-three nests of this species were obtained 
in the Barren Grounds, as well as on the shores of Franklin Bay.”’
