61°. The Sound contains an isolated archipelago, of the fauna 
of which but little was previously known. Moreover the Hud- 
sonian Zone is here of relatively large area and continued to the 
east and west by very narrow coastal extensions, being thus so 
isolated as to promise interesting problems in distribution and 
speciation. This has proved to be true especially of the birds 
of the Expedition. 
The party consisted of Joseph Dixon, Edmund Heller, Allen 
E. Hasselbore, Miss Louise Kellogg, and Miss Annie M. Alex- 
ander. Cordova was reached on June 3, 1908, and the last

dates as many of the islands of the Sound, and mainland points,
