Breeding of Barrow's Golden-eye in Lower Canada. -During 
the middle of July last (July 11-19, 1881) I several times came across a fe- 
male with several young, of Barrow’s Golden Eye ( Clangula islandica) 
in the Godbout River, about a mile above its mouth. Mr. N. A. Comeau 
showed me skins of the adults of both sexes that he had taken here and 
assured me that the species breeds regularly in this region. The Godbout 
River empties into the St. Lawrence, from the north, six miles wes of 
Pt. de Monte which guards the mouth of the Gulf on that side The p ace 
falls a trifle short of 50° north latitude. Dr. Cones says (Birds of the 
Northwest, p. 577 ) “ 11 is the most northerly species ot the genus, having 
apparently a circumpolar distribution, breeding only (■) ln ‘8 a 1 
tudes.” etc. C. Hart Merrum.M. D., Tofo
