122. Œdemia perspicillata. Surf Duck.—Very common from April to November, but does not winter. The males greatly preponderate over the females in this species, and Mr. Comeau tells me that the proportion is always about seven males to one female.
123. Mergus merganser. Sheldrake.—Tolerably common, breeding about the fresh water.
124. Mergus serrator. Red-breasted Merganser.—Very common, frequenting both fresh and salt water.
125. Sula bassana. Gannet.—Occasional. I have found it breeding in numbers at the west end of Anticosti, but do not think it nests farther up in the Gulf.
126. Phalacrocorax carbo. Common Cormorant.—Rare. but Mr. Comeau has shot several here.
127. Phalacrocorax dilophus. Double-crested Cormorant.—Mr. Comeau shot a female May 19, 1882.
128. Stercorarius pomatorhinus. Pomatorhine Jaeger.—Rare.
129. Stercorarius parasiticus. Parasitic Jaeger.—Rather rare. Mr. Comeau shot six in one day about the middle of May, 1874.
130. Larus glaucus. Glaucous Gull; Ice Gull.—Rather rare. Usually seen in February, March, and April. I have a handsome male which was shot by Mr. Comeau April 29, 1882.
131. Larus leucopterus. White-winged Gull.—Not common. Commonly appears and disappears with the last. Mr. Comeau has shot it as late as May 1.
