59. A (JUL A CHRVSAETUS, L. 

 (GoLDKN Eagle.) 



On Auo-ust 16 some fishermen killed a larfjc Eairle at 

 Amherst. From the description of the bird, I believe it to 

 have been Aqiiila chrysactiis, although it might have been 

 a young Ilcliactiis Iciicoccphahis.

60. LA GOP US A LB US, {Gm.) Ami 

 (Willow Ptarmigan.) 



In 1876 a single specimen was taken at Amherst. The 

 skin was preserved. It is, I believe, the only example of this 

 species ever taken on the islands, and was probably a strag- 

 Her from Newfoundland. I was unable to obtain the exact 

 date of its capture. 



61. S(2UATAR0LA HELVETICA, (Z.) Cur. 

 (Black-bellif.d Plover.) 



The first specimens were seen August lo, but were very 

 shy. I procured two on August 1 1, and after that date they 

 were very common and quite tame.
