x THE 131 RDS OF MONTREAL. 



There is only one record of the Labrador Duck 

 occurring in the District of Montreal, and given in 

 Dr. Hall's list an adult male specimen, shot in the 

 bay of Laprairie, in the spring of 1862, by a habitant, 

 which was purchased by the late James Thomson, 

 Esq., of this city. There is also a young male of 

 the Labrador Duck, in immature plumage, and evi- 

 dently mounted from a dry skin, in the museum of 

 the Natural History Society, of Montreal, but there 

 is not any record of where this specimen was ob- 

 tained by the museum. This species is believed to 

 be now extinct. The illustrations of this species 

 are from drawings, by Mr. J. H. Ross, of the two 

 specimens mentioned.
