The lied-necked Pbalarope is one of the comniouest breeding 55Uinmer 

 birds on Bering- Island. 



In 1882 they arrived in hirge numbers on the 29th of May, and during 

 the following week all the smaller ponds on tlie tundras all over the 

 northern part of the island were crowded. In 1883 the new-comers 

 made their appearance five days earlier, as the first ones were shot on 

 May 24.

When on my boat expedition around Bering Island I observed a flock 

 of Phalaropes, August 21, 1882, several miles at sea, iSr(> specimen could 

 be secured, but I do not think T was wrong in my i<lenrification.
