114 PROCEEDINGS OF UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. 
ERIGNATHUS BARBATUS, (Fabricius) Gill. Square-Flipper Seal. 
Rather common on cakes of floating ice in the spring, all along the 
coast. 
CYSTOPHORA CRISTATA, (Erxl.) Nilsson. Hooded Seal. 
With P. grenlandica, but less common. 
ODOBZNUS OBESUS, (Illiger) Allen. Walrus. 
Rare along the coast of Northern Labrador. Two were shot in 1880 
and 1881, at Fox Harbor, St. Lewis Sound, off the shore a little way. 
A gentleman of our party obtained the tusks of one of them, which 
were about 7 inches long and nearly an inch in diameter. 
Regarding the deer of Labrador some confusion exists. Two species, 
about equally common, are found throughout the peninsula in small, or 
less frequently in large (300 or 400), herds. They are probably the 
following: 
TARANDUS RANGIFER, Brookes, var. CARIBOU. Woodland Caribou ; and 
TARANDUS RANGIFER, Brookes, var. GRGSLANDICUS. Barren Ground 
Caribou. 
ALCES MALCHIS, (Linné) Gray, the Moose, and CERVUS CANADENSIS, 
Erxleben, the American Elk, have both been reported as found on the 
southwestern portion of Labrador, about north from Anticosti, but 
they are doubtless very rare and occasional. 
OVIBOS MOSCHATUS, Blainville. Musk Ox. 
On the authority of Prof. A. 8S. Packard a single relic of this animal 
may be accredited to this region. Probably it was its most southern 
limit in former times. 
DELPHINAPTERUS CATODON, (Linné) Gill. White Whale. 
Common in the Saint Lawrence River, at least as far as Anticosti. 
MoONODON MONOCEROS, Linné. Narwhal. 
Given on the authority of Professor Packard, but it is probably 
exceedingly rare. 
ORCA GLADIATOR, (Bonnaterre) Gray. Killer. 
Occasional all along the coast apparently. 
GLOBICEPHALUS INTERMEDIUS, (Harlan) Gray. _ Black-fish. 
Common in the Gulf, at least to the mouth of the Straits of Belle 
Isle. 
GRAMPUS GRISEUS, (Cuvier) Gray. Grampus. ) 
Not uncommon all along the shores to Belle Isle, and perhaps farther. 
PHYSETER MACROCEPHALUS, Linné. Sperm Whale. 
Occasionally taken along the coast, as Iam informed by the traders 
and people.
