ResumoNot rare migrant, often in considerable flocks.At Killinek, I observed five individuals, apparently (p.350) old and young, on 16th September, as well as two old individuals with white under parts on 24th September.To be sure, this shy bird, which generally keeps at considerable distance from shore, is not frequently killed.Kumlien did not observe the species, perhaps by chance, in Cumberland Sound district, although Crawford Noble, Jr., collected it there and a specimen is in the Marischal College Museum in Aberdeen (in lilt.).Payne met it in Prince of Wales Sound, Hudson Strait, at the beginning of September, 1885, in company with Hutchins Geese and Snow Geese (Macoun, I, p. 120).Bigelow secured a specimen killed at Nain, northeastern Labrador, in October, 1899 (1902, p. 28).Note: It is to be assumed that species of the Family Anatide other than those mentioned, occasionally appear in our district, which has been so little explored, for example, Chaulelasmus streperus [Bald-pate], Querquedula discors [Bluewinged Teal], Mareca penelope [European Widgeon], Charitonetta albeola [Bufflehead], Hrismatura jamaicensis [Ruddy Duck], etc., as also Olor [Cygnus] columbianus [Whistling Swan] and Branta leu opsis [Barnacle Goose], of which latter species Moeschler offered for sale a specimen from northeastern Labrador in his catalogue of Jan. 3, 1871.Crymophilas fulicarius (L.) 4 [p.350].Breitschnadbliger Wassertreter-RED PHALAROPE.Eskimo : Savgak, -gak, -gat (partim), with the people of the southeast of Ungava Bay as well as in Greenland, Kajok, -jitk, jut (=the red one).Rather frequent migrant, especially in the springtime, according to the statements of the inhabitants.I observed different individuals 40 B.
