Be- cause I v^'as away from 8 August to 15 Septem- ber, I missed the departure of many species from the area. Species marked with an asterisk are birds thought to be present in the area but which have been only tentatively identified by me, or which are based on unconfirmed indentification by the Eskimos. Most of these species have been re- ported previously for Banks and Victoria Island and occur in inland marshy habitats which were missed in this study. A special effort was made to obtain the Holman Eskimo names for each species. It was found that in many cases these differed from the names given in Snyder (1957), especially when dealing with the more eastern distributed species. The resemblance to names for species common in the Mackenzie Delta region and the Perry River area was much greater, but rarely were they identical. Usually birds rare to the area had no local name. Information about behaviour and nesting was also sought from the native Eskimos and the few species which were seen by them, but not by me, are noted and in- cluded. In most cases the taxonomic authority follow- ed is the fifth edition of the American Ornitholo- gists' Union Check List of North American Birds (1957). Exceptions to this involved the follow- ing species: Brant, Snow Goose, and Thayer's Gull. The authority followed in these cases is
