Washington, and the birds have been taken on the Lower 

 Mackenzie as well as in Iceland, Northern Norway, and 

 Siberia. M. C.] 



[NOTE. The Black-throated Diver (Urinator arcticus) 

 has been taken in Parry's Sound, Grinnell Bay, and King-

 there is no evidence of it having been seen there. M. C.] 



3. Loon. ( Urinator imber.) 



A summer resident, rare in North Greenland, quite com-

 up to 69 N. lat. The earliest eggs laid on the 30th of 

 May, last found on the 10th of August.

A summer resident ; breeds everywhere throughout the 

 country ; eggs found on June 10 and July 25.

 thinking Moschler made a mistake in referring his examples
