^{page no 23 note *} According to the British Museum Catalogue of Birds, 1896, this is the common skua (Megalestris skua).

^{page no 29 note *} This bird had been flying for a considerable time, hence the high temperature. For this reason, in calculating the mean temperature of the cormorant, this figure is excluded.

^{page no 29 note †} On November 23, a pair (male and female) of velvet scoter ducks (Œdemia fusca) were shot, but the notes of the body temperature have been lost.

^{page no 30 note *} The temperature of the air and sea was about 70° F.
