Fauna, No. 15, p.2362 1899. 
I have seen but one Labrador specimen of this species, a mounted 
example from the Geological Survey of Canada collection, taken 
by Low at Hamilton River. 
41. ERETHIZON DORSATUM PICINUM Bangs. Labrador porcupine.

to the semi-barrens.

Lepus labradorius Miller. Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., Vol. XIII, 
: p. 39. 1899. 
Type Locality. Fort Chimo, Ungava. 
Of general distribution in the barrens and semi-barrens of ian 
dor, occasionally reaching so far south as Hamilton Inlet. Turner 
took specimens at Fort Chimo and Solomon Island. 
43. LEPUS AMERICANUS AMERICANUS Erxl. American varying hare. 
Lepus americanus Erxl. Syst. Reg. Anim., p. 330. 1777.

Hamilton Inlet. 
44, PHoca vITULINA Linn. Harbour seal. 
Phoca vitulina Linn. Syst. Nat., Vol. I, p. 38. 1758. 
Common along the whole coast, and in the lower parts of the 
rivers. It is also, according to Low, found in many of the fresh- 
water lakes of the interior, and the Indians assert that these fresh- 
water seals never leave the lakes. This should be carefully looked 
into, and it is to be hoped that collectors in Labrador may be able 
to take some of these fresh-water seals. 
One skull in Bangs’s collection from Okkak, obtained by Sorn- 
borger from the Eskimo.
