Abstract
Re the very interesting article published under the above-mentioned title by Mr. R. Lydekker (p. 252, January 10), may I indicate and correct an error? Camptolaemus labradorius is certainly exterminated on the North Atlantic coast of America, as Mr. Lydekker says; but this breed still exists not very far off, but in a somewhat out-of-the-way place, in the island of Anticosti, where M. Paul Combes saw it recently, as he states the fact in his “Exploration de l'lle d'Anticosti,” 1896 (J. Andrè, publisher, Paris).
