No. 379. ] THE MAMMALS OF LABRADOR. 499 
Now restricted to northern Labrador, reaching south only 
to about Nachvak. Formerly abundant along the whole Ļab- 
rador coast. A fine pair, ¢ and 9, skulls in Bangs’s collection, 
obtained by Sornborger from the Eskimo at Okak. 
30. Poca vituLina Linn. Harbor 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.
