 years ago. Several persons who saw the stuffed bird 

 described this species beyond possibility of doubt. 



142. Olor columbiamis (Ord). Whistling Swan. 



An occasional straggler over the southern portions 

 only of Labrador. The Eskimo of the western side and 

 northern end of the region apply the name K6ogzhook 

 to this bird, and is exactly the same name as is given to 

 it by the Eskimo of Norton Sound, Alaska. 



143. Chen hyperborea nivalis (Forst.). Greater Snow 

 Goose. 



Occasionally a straggler is seen in the western portions 

 and along the western end of Hudson Strait. Eskimo 

 from the eastern shore of Hudson Bay reported it to be 

 very plentiful during the migration. Those people ap- 

 ply the term Kangok to this species, and what is rare 

 among the names of birds is, that the same term is ap- 

 plied to this species by the Eskimo of Norton Sound, 

 Alaska.
