Under date of September 2, Mr. Newcomb writes: — 
“Saw what Captain Collins called a ‘Sea Hen,’; 
The ‘ Sea Hen ’ is the Skua Gull [Stercora.rius 
caMrrharj.es], about which considerable stir has been made the past summer.* 
The Fish Commission secured one, but I did not get any ; still, our ‘ skipper, 
who is an intelligent and very persistent man, says he will get one, just to make 
his word good. The fishermen say they are seen comparatively often, still I 
feel somewhat doubtful, owing to the meagre and inaccurate knowledge which 
this class of men have of the subject.”
