Sula bassana , Gannet. About forty miles to 
the westward of Esquimaux Point, is Mingan, 
where a small colony of Gannets have theii 
nesting place, and from careful inquiry, I am 
positive that there are no other colonies, at 
least, as far as the Straits of Belle Isle. But 
after the breeding season, the birds were rather 
common all along the coast.
