Myctea nvotea . 
Lake Umbagog, Mew England. At Richardson Lake in 1397. 
1898. will Sargent tells me that late last autumn Cin November 
Aug,29, he thinks) his brother human saw a Snowy Owl at the narrows of 
Richardson Lake. It was perched on an upturned root at the 
water's edge. Just as he was about to shoot it flew and ris¬ 
ing above the trees made off over a point of land. He after- 
I 
wards came on it again farther up the Lake and fired at it 
cutting out two wing feathers which he describes as pure white 
with black markings.
