^"*'i9i^"''] Cooke, Labrador Bird Notes. 163 



Only two previous records had been published for Fulica americana 

 and Colaptes auratus luteus. The known range of Cyanocitta eris- 

 tata cristata on the south coast has been extended a long distance 

 eastward. 



The fox farm is at Dykes Bay, near the entrance to Sandwich 

 Bay, about four miles southwest of Cartwright, about 150 miles 

 north of the eastern end of the Strait of Belle Isle, and about 70 

 miles southeast of Rigolet, near which place Dr. Coues made many 

 of his Labrador observations. The Sandwich Bay records refer to 

 the fox farm. The settlement called Paradise where Cartwright 

 spent much of his time, and which was often visited by Birdseye, 

 is at the southwestern corner of Sandwich Bay, some fifteen miles 

 from the fox farm. Battle Harbor is on St. Lewis Sound about 40 

 miles north of the Strait of Belle Isle. Flowers Cove, Newfound- 

 land, and Forteau, Labrador, are at the west end of the Strait of 

 Belle Isle; West Ste. Modiste and Red Bay are in the middle of 

 the Strait; Chateau Bay and Pleasure Harbor are just north of 

 its eastern end; Caribou Island and Lewis Bay are near Battle; 

 Hawke Harbor is 50 miles north of Battle; Seal Islands and 

 Spotted Islands are 50 miles east of Cartwright and Table Bay 

 half that distance; Woody Point and West Bay are on the coast 

 between Cartwright and the mouth of Hamilton Inlet, while 

 Ticoralak is on the north shore of Hamilton Inlet near Rigolet.
