 found on the sandy shores. 



195. Limosa fedoa, ORD, - -Marbled Godivit, "Brant- 

 Bird," " Badger-Bird." Rare during the migrations. Mr. 

 H. B. Farley informs me that he shot a specimen at 

 Ipswich on July 17, 1869. Winters in large numbers in 

 Florida, and I was assured, upon good authority, that it 

 remained during the summer, but the nest has never been 

 found ! How they propagated was a mystery to those un- 

 acquainted with its northern migration.

 wit, " Goose-Bird," " Black-tail," " Spot-neck." Very rare 

 during the migrations.

 Curlew, " Sickle- bill." Not uncommon during the migra- 

 tions, but very shy ; but few shot on this account.

 Curlew, " Dough-Bird," "Jack Curlew." Very rare on the 

 migrations.

 lew, " Flute." Not uncommon during the migrations. The

PHALAROPODHLE, THE PHALAROPES. 



200. Steganopus Wilsonii, COUES. Wilson's Pha- 

 larope. Accidental on the coast. Audubon appears to be 

 the only one who records it from this section.

 Occasional during the migrations along the coast. 



202. Lobipes hyperboreus, Cuv. Northern Phala-
