IN AUDUBON'S LABRADOR 



Islands off Long Point, Mingan, where the 

 lighthouse-keeper could be put in charge; Sea- 

 Cow Island and the small islands in its neigh- 

 borhood, near Esquimaux Point; an island at 

 Betchewan; one at Piashte Bay; one or two at 

 Natashquan; a strip of the sandy shore near 

 the lighthouse at Natashquan Point; Triple Is- 

 land off Romaine; Outer and Gull Islands and 

 the cliffs of Cape Whittle; Gull Island at Pointe 

 au Maurier where the interesting colony of ring- 

 billed gulls breed; St. Mary's Islands with their 

 lighthouse; one of the Harrington group of is- 

 lands; Treble Hill Island and Flat Island off 

 Great Mecattina; some of the islands of Ke- 

 carpoui and islands near Shecatica and Old 

 Fort; and lastly, and very important, the fa- 

 mous Perroquet Island in Bradore Bay. On the 

 Newfoundland Labrador similar scattered res- 

 ervations should be made. These scattered 

 reservations are, it seems to me, more impor- 

 tant and more easily kept sacred than large 

 ones such as the sixty-four miles of coast be- 

 , tweeri Cape Whittle and Mecattina suggested 

 by Colonel William Wood in his admirable 

 address in 191 1 on "Animal Sanctuaries in 

 Labrador."
