Delphinus truncatus Montagu. Memos. Wernerian Soc., Vol. 
PEL pov 5; LSAT. 
Common on the south and east coasts. 
I am under the greatest obligation to Dr. Glover M. Allen for 
helping me prepare this list of the Labrador cetaceans. Many of 
the species were observed and identified by him during a cruise 
along the coast in the summer of 1906.

Low is in doubt whether or not the moose enters the south- 
western limits of Labrador. It is occasionally killed in the region 
about Lake Edward, Quebec.

Reported by Low to now be very rare, — almost exterminated, 
—though formerly abundant throughout the wooded regions. 
Low also says that the destruction of the woodland caribou has 
resulted in the dying off, from actual starvation, of a large propor- 
tion of the interior Indians, which, in its turn, has caused a great 
increase in the numbers of the fur-bearing animals. 
Mr. Ernest Doane took specimens at “Black Bay in September, 
1898, and sent me three fine adult females and a male. 
20. RANGIFER ARcTICUS Richardson. Barren-ground caribou. 
Cervus tarandus var. a. arctica Richardson. F. B. A., Vol. I, 
p. 241. 1829. 
According to Low, the barren-ground caribou still ranges in 
immense herds over the barrens and semi-barrens, south to the 
Mealy Mountains, between Hamilton Inlet and Sandwich Bay.

Sciurus vulgaris €. hudsonicus Erxl. Mammalia, p. 416. 1777. 
Type Locality. Hudson Strait. 
Common in the wooded regions, and extending into the semi- 
barrens. Goldthwaite took specimens at Rigolet. Turner took 
specimens at Fort Chimo and at Forks, Northwest River, and 
Doane sent me a large series from Black Bay.

Black Bay and L’Anse au Loup. 
Low speaks of a woodchuck as common in the country between
