134 Capt. Blakiston on the Birds of the 



Tringoides macularius. 



Abundant on the Mackenzie (Bernard Ross). 



101. ACTITURUS BARTRAMIUS. 



The 'Fauna Bor.-Am.^ mentions this bird as seen only in the 

 plains of the Saskatchawan ; my specimen (' Ibis/ vol. iv. p. 9) 

 was from the same locality, where we found it breeding during 

 summer. 



Tringites rufescens. 



Rare on the Mackenzie (Bernard Ross). 



102. LiMOSA FEDOA. 



Mentioned in the 'Fauna Bor.-Am.' as plentiful on the Sas- 

 katchawan, where my specimen {' Ibis/ vol. iv. p. 9) was obtained ; 

 it is also recorded by Mr. Murray from Hudson's Bay, whence 

 I have since received a specimen. 



LiMOSA HUDSONICA. 



A specimen is given by Mr. Murray from Hudson's Bay, 

 whence I have also seen it ; it is also mentioned in the ' Favma 

 Bor.-Am.' as breeding abundantly on the "barren grounds'' of 

 the far north. Mr. Ross, however, considers it rare on Mac- 

 kenzie River. 



NUMENIUS HUDSONICUS. 



Breeds in the interior; a specimen from the Saskatchawan 

 ('Fauna Bor.-Am.'). Slave Lake (Bernard Ross). 



NUMENIUS BOREALIS. 



Barren lands within the Arctic Circle : a specimen from the 

 Rocky Mountains ('Fauna Bor.-Am.'). Mackenzie River (Ber- 

 nard Ross). 



The Long-billed Curlew {N. lungirostris) is given in the ' Fauna 

 Bor.-Am.' on the authority of a specimen in the British Museum 

 said to be from the fur-countries. 



PORZANA CAROLINA. 



A specimen of this bird is in the Smithsonian Institution from 

 Red River Settlement ; Mr. Murray notices it from the shores of 

 Hudson's Bay; the 'Fauna Bor.-Am.' records it from the Sas- 

 katchawan, and Mr. Ross from the Mackenzie.
