Sayornis saya 22 July Cohville River - above Killik Bend At the long series of sandstone outcrops in the bend of the river - first bluff on the left just below mouth of Oolamgoparik River, several Phaethes were heard calling as the thunder storm was approaching. [illegible] Later, after the rain, I saw two flying about or some of the middle bluffs but when the area was investigated later none could be found 3 August Okfilab River Two adults were seen in willows on the flood plain near the mouth of Couttet Creek. One was shot. Later a third adult was seen on a talus below the Listerne lime- stone outcrop. In this same locality a nest of this type made by phaethes was seen midway overlooking on the limestone outcrop about 60 ft up on a sheer wall. Sable said he had also seen such a nest at an outcrop on the other side of the river. 3 August Okfilab River On Couttet Creek at the upper end
