Newfoundland.

The islsnd Of Newfoundland is cnri-
ously favored, inasmuch that it is not in
iested with reptiles. Capt Chearnley
writes:
{ "ln Newfoundland there is not o
snske, toad, frog. or reptile Of any sort.
There is not squirrel on the Island. no
,porcupins, moose or minks; whereas,
With the exception Of the porcupine
wanting in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, all
these creatures are found in the neigh
boring provinces. The Arctic hare is
found in Newfoundland, but in neither
Cape Byeton nor Nova Scotia"
Capt. Hardv calls attention to Other
deficiencies. He visited Newfoundland
at midsummer, and could not help re.
marking that fireflies were not to be
seen there; while in Nova Scotia they
swarm by thousands, their scintillations
adding beauty to the pail of night. The
