Fauna, No. 15, p. 36. 1899. 



I have seen but one Labrador specimen of this species, a mounted 

 example from the Geological Survey of Canada collection, taken 

 by Low at Hamilton River. 



41. ERETHIZON DORSATUM PICINUM Bangs. Labrador porcupine. 

 Erethizon dorsatus picinus Bangs. Proc. New Eng. Zool. Club,

 Common and generally distributed from the St. Lawrence, north 

 to the semi-barrens.

p. 39. 1899. 



Type Locality. Fort Chimo, Ungava. 



Of general distribution in the barrens and semi-barrens of Labra- 

 dor, occasionally reaching so far south as Hamilton Inlet. Turner 

 took specimens at Fort Chimo and Solomon Island. 



43. LEPUS AMERICANUS AMERiCANUs Erxl. American varying hare. 

 Lepus americanus Erxl. Syst. Reg. Anim., p. 330. 1777. 

 Type Locality. South side of Hudson Strait.

 the edge of the barrens. Goldthwaite took fourteen specimens at 

 Hamilton Inlet. 



44. PHOCA VITULINA Linn. Harbour seal. 



Phoca vitulina Linn. Syst. Nat., Vol. I, p. 38. 1758. 



Common along the whole coast, and in the lower parts of the 

 rivers. It is also, according to Low, found in many of the fresh- 

 water lakes of the interior, and the Indians assert that these fresh- 

 water seals never leave the lakes. This should be carefully looked 

 into, and it is to be hoped that collectors in Labrador may be able 

 to take some of these fresh- water seals. 



One skull in Bangs 's collection from Okkak, obtained by Sorn- 

 borger from the Eskimo.
