Family — CH ARADRIDiE. 



Chakadrius Virginicus. Plenty in spring and fall of the 

 year. Immense bodies of them sometimes gather upon the open 

 prairie, especially upon portions over which fire has run. Ilhave 

 seen hundreds of them thus assembled, and busily engaged in 

 feeding — upon what, I am puzzled to know. C. vociferus. 

 Abundant. C. melodius. Not common. 



CiNCLUS iNTERPRES. Somcwhat numerous, especially in the 

 vicinity of Lake Michigan. 



Family — SCOLOPACIDiE. 



Tringotdes Bartramia. Abounds largely upon our prairies 

 in autumn and spring, where it breeds, though in less numbers. 

 T. MACULARiA. Common. T. canuta. Found in small num- 

 bers about our lakes and ponds. It undoubtedly breeds here, 

 though I have not as yet found its nest. T. cinclus. Visits us 

 in company with others of its species on its annual journey to 

 and from the north. T. subarcuata. At one time quite com- 

 mon in the vicinity of this city, but has entirely disappeared. 

 Found in considerable numbers in unsettled districts about the 

 slues. 



ToTANUs SEMiPALMATUS. Frcqucnts the shores of our lakes, 

 and occasionally may be seen in large flocks. I found them 

 more numerous about Lake Winnebago than elsewhere. T. 

 MELANOLEUcus. Quitc abundant along our forest streams, and 

 wet, wooded marshes, where it breeds. T. flavipes. Abun- 

 dant. T. GLOTTIS. Have seen two or three only. 



LiMOSA FEDOA. Rare. I have never obtained more than a 

 single specimen. 



Gallinago Wilsonii. Very abundant for a few weeks in 

 spring and autumn, and shot in great numbers. 



Philohela Americana. Found in small numbers, but is evi- 

 dently increasing. 



Recurvirostra Americana. Rare.
