 Barrow gull, nau'yB(Larusbarrovianus). is the most abundant all (liroiigh 

 the sea.son, though the rare rosy gull, kfi'iJmaxlu (Rhodostctlics rosea), 

 appears in multitudes late in the autumn. The ivory gull (( ni\ia alba), 

 nariyalbwuu, and Sabine's gull, yfiku'drigugi'i; (Xema Sabinii). are un- 

 common, while the Arctic tern, utyuta'kin (Sterna paradisca). is rather 

 abundant, especially about the sandsjiits of Xuwrdc. All these species. 

 particularly the larger ones, are taken for food. 



Three species of loons are common: the great white-billed loon, tii'dlin 

 (Urinator adamsi), and the Pacific and red-throated divers (U. paciticiis 

 and lumme), which are not distinguished from each other but are both 

 called ka'ksau. They also occasionally see the thick-billed guillemot 

 a'kpa (Tria lomvia arra), and more often the sea-pigeon, sckbwiik (Ce- 

 phus mandtii). The three species of jaegei-s (Stercorarius pomarinus, 

 parasiticu.s, and longicaudus) are not distinguished from one another 

 but are all called isufu:. They i)ay but little attention to the numerous 

 species of wading birds which appear in considerable abundance in the 

 migrations and bree<ling season, but they recognize among them the 

 turnstone, tull'gwa ( Areiiaria interpres). the gray plover, ki'raio'n (Cha- 

 radrinssquatarola), the American golden plover, tu'dbii (('. doiiiinicus), 

 the knot, tn'awi'a (Tringa canutus), the pectoral and Baird's sandpijiers, 

 (T. miM-ulataand bairdii). both .-ailed ai'bwnkic. the r.-d-backcd sand-

 iwi'luk (Ereunetes imsilliis). the butf-breasted sandpiper, mrdliiayu 

 (Ti-yngites subruficollis). the ivd phalarojie. sabran (Chryinophilus fuli-

 The last is rare at I'oint Harrow, but they see many of them near the 

 Colville. The little brown crane, tuti'drigi; (( Irns canadensis), is also 

 rare at the i'oint. but they say they find many of them at the mouth of 

 Kulii'urua.
