In letters to mo from Or. \\ . T. GrenfeU under dates of October I 

 and 1 7. and \'o\ ember 5, L912, the follow ing records are of interest : 



A female Morning Dove, rfura m«?<- s r, found 



dead on the beach at Spotted Islands in August, and another soon 

 alive at Battle Harbor on October 2, L912, There are only two 

 oi 1 abrador. 



Seven Eskimo Curlew, N\ - s, shot and one other 



seen on the beach at West Ha\ north of Cartwxight in August and 

 tember, 1912, The skins of five were saved and sent to Cam- 

 bridge where they were seen and identified by Mr. Wm. Brewster. 



This rword of the Eskimo Curlew is of great interest for there 

 has been no other authentic record since September 14, L909, and 

 the species was believed to be extinct. It was a great pity that the 

 fow sm-\ -.his interesting species should bo shot either for 



Specimens 01 1 would suggest that the bird bo put on the 



protected list at all times in the United Statos and Canada when 



it is possible to pass such a law , that all otTors of monoy for s;\ 



mens by collectors bo at once withdrawn, and that Or. Grenfell 



I to distribute notices along the Labrador Coast to the 



Ct that no specimens w ill bo paid for, and urging the inhabitants 



not to s': Curlen in order if possible to save tin rom
