/,.■■’ — In the ‘Proceedings’ of the last annual meeting (1883) of the Boston 
* Society of Natural History we notice the reported existence in the Soci- 
ety’s collection of a specimen of the Labrador Duck ( Camftohzmus 
labradorius) and an immature Black-throated Diver ( Colymbus arcticus) 
which have been identified by the donor, the Hon. Theodore Lyman, 
as specimens which came into his possession in the flesh in 1850, under 
circumstances leaving little doubt of their Massachusetts origin, they 
having in all probability been killed in Boston Harbor. This example of 
the Labrador Duck is additional to those mentioned by the late Mr.. G. D./ 
Rowley, in his memoir on this species, as existing in museums.
