ul summer plumage. I foundthe nest of the Brown Lark (Anthus spinalctta ^) with fiveeggs in it; the nest was planted at the foot of a rock,buried in dark mould, and beautifully made of fine grass,well and neatly worked in circularly, without any hair orother lining. We shot a White-crowned Sparrow, twoSavannah Finches, and saw more, and a Red-belliedNuthatch; this last bird must have been blown here acci-dentally, as not a bush is there for it to alight upon. Ifound the tail of an unknown Owl, and a dead Snow-birdwhich from its appearance must have died from cold andfamine.

VICTOR GIFFORU AUDLBOX. FROM THE MINIATURE BV i-. CRUIKSHANK, 1838. THE LABRADOR JOURNAL 385 nare passed us. All my young men are engaged inskinning the Mormon arcticiis. Jime 30. I have drawn three birds this day since eightoclock, one Fringilla lincolnii, one Ruby-crowned Wren,and a male White-winged Crossbill. Found a nest of theSavannah Finch with two eggs; it was planted in themoss, and covered by a rampant branch; it was made offine grass, neither hair nor feathers in its composition.Shot the L. marimis in fine order, all with the wings ex-tending nearly two inches beyond the tail, and all in thesame state of moult, merely showing in the middle pri-maries. These birds suck other birds eggs like Crows,Jays, and Ravens. Shot six Phalacrocorax carbo^ in fullplumage, species well ascertained by their white throat;found abundance of their eggs and young. July 1. The weather was so cold that it was painfulfor me to draw almost the whole day, yet I have drawn aWhite-winged Crossbill ^
