504 THE AMERICAN NATURALIST. [VoL. XXXII. 
44. MUSTELA PENNANTII Erxl. Pennants’s marten, Fisher. 
Mustela pennantit Erx Syst. An. p. 479. 1777. 
Pennants’s marten, according to Low, rarely enters the 
southwestern limits of Labrador, not occurring east of Mingan 
nor north of Mistassini. 
45. PUTORIUS (LUTREOLA) vison vison (Schreber). Little 
black mink. 
Mustela vison Schraeber. Säugt. Vol. iii, p. 463. 1778. 
Low says the mink is found only in the southern part of 
Labrador, seldom occurring north of East Main and Hamilton 
Rivers. I foùnd it very common at Lake Edward, Quebec, 
but have never seen a Labrador specimen. 
46. PUTORIUS (ARCTOGALE) CICOGNANII CICOGNANII (Bonap.). 
Small brown weasel. 
Mustela cicognanit Bonap. Fauna, Italica, Mamm. p. 4. 
1838. 
Reported by Low to be common everywhere south of tree 
limit. 
Goldthwaite took two specimens, g and ọ, at Rigoulette. 
Turner took one at “ Forks,” Ungava. 
One would expect to find Putorius cicognanti richardsonii 
occurring in the semi-barrens of northern Labrador, but the 
three specimens referred to above are all true cécognanit. 
47. VULPES LAGOPUS (Linn). Arctic fox. 
Canis lagopus Linn. Syst. Nat. Ed. xii, vol. i p. 59. 
1766 
The Arctic fox is abundant in the barren grounds and 
extends south to about Lake Michikamaw and to Nichicum. 
Along both coasts it pushes rather farther south; on the 
Atlantic to Hamilton Inlet, and rarely even to the Strait of 
Belle Isle; on the coast of James Bay to its southern part. 
Two skulls in Bangs’s collection from Hebron, obtained by 
Sornborger.
