Rather common, but getting more and more scarce in Northern Lab- 
rador.

Found occasionally in the southern portion of Labrador. 
MUSTELA AMERICANA, Turton. American Sable; Marten. 
Abundant inland, in the furrring season, throughout the peninsula. 
PuTORIUS ERMINEA, (Linné) Griff. Ermine; Stoat.

PUTORIUS VISON, (Schreb.) Gapp. ink. 
Abundant everywhere along the coast and about inland ponds. 
GULO LUSCUS, (Linné) Sabine. Wolverine.

Rare, occasionally seen on blocks of floating ice off shore in the ex- 
treme northern portions. Twice recorded as far down through the 
straits of Belle Isle as Blane Sablon. 
PROCYON LOTOR, (Linné) Storr. Raccoon. 
“Occurs at Square Island.”—Packard.
