Messrs. Baily, Carter, Evans and Stone described a trip ta 

 Pocono Lalce talien during June of the present year (see antea, 

 p. 30). 



Mr. Stone reported a Red-throated Loon ( Gavia lumme) picked 

 up on a street in the city early in the morning (Dec. 20) and 

 brought ahve to the Museum. It seemed quite uninjured, but 

 wlien placed on the floor could not raise itself in flight nor could 

 it stand upright or lift its breast from the ground. It twisted 

 its head from side to side, sometimes crooking it in the middle 

 after the manner of a goose, and struck viciously' at anj' one who 

 approached within reach. A Goshawk {Astur atricapillus) was 

 exhibited, obtained Nov. 15 at Cape May Point, N. J. ; two others 

 were rei^orted from near Tuckerton, N. J., the middle of the 

 same month, and taxidermists reported large numbers all over 

 the country.
