A LABRADOR SPRING 
graph from a distance of the pond and islet 
and nest was taken, and this was sufficient to 
show the fact that Canada geese still nest near 
the southern Labrador coast. We saw eight 
or ten geese that day, some of whom honked 
cheerfully while others appeared to be nervous 
at our approach, and it was probable that 
more nests were concealed in the neighbour- 
hood. 
The last ridge we crossed that day was of 
considerable extent and thickly wooded, and, 
although threaded with several paths which 
were evidently used in winter wood cutting, 
there was no sign of a path over the extensive 
bog beyond. Hitherto we had been guided 
by an occasional stake, but here there were 
none. However, we determined to press on 
due north towards the rocky ridge of mountains 
which appeared no nearer than when we started, 
marking carefully the point where we left the 
woods, near some limestone cliffs that faced the 
inland sea of moss, just as the cliffs of Es- 
quimaux Island face the tides that flow be- 
tween them and the shore. Some time, if the 
upheaval still continues, Esquimaux Sound 
will be replaced by moss.
