 separate copy, contains an acco^nit of the collections made 

 by Hru. Hildebrandt and v. Kalckreuth in 1876 and 1877

54. Coues on the Birds of Dakota and Montana. 



[Field-notes on Birds observed in Daliota and Montana along tlie Forty- 

 ninth Parallel during the seasons of 1873 and 1874. By Dr. Elliott Coues. 

 Bull. Geol. and Geogr. Surv. iv. no. 3.] 



Dr. Coues's field-notes made diiring his connexion with 

 the U. S. Northern Boundary Commission are, as usual, full 

 of interest, and relate to a very little known-country lying 

 along the northern boundaries of Dakota and Montana, from 

 the Red River to the Rocky Mountains. Full notes arc 

 given on such rarities (hitherto considered) as Neocorys 

 spraguli, Plectrophanes ornatus and P. macowni, Passer- 

 culus bairdi, and Coturnicidus lecontii, of which the first four 

 were found breeding, and eggs and young were obtained. 

 Our Bohemian Wax- wing {Ampelis garrulus) and Harlequin 

 Duck {Histrionicus torquutus) Avcre also both detected 

 breeding.
