 piper, "Little Plover." Rare spring and autumn migrant; 

 found on the sandy shores. 



195. Limosa fedoa, Ord. — Marbled Godwit, " Brant- 

 Bird," "Badger-Bird." Rare during the migrations. Mr. 

 H. B. Farley informs me that he shot a specimen at 

 Ipswich on July 17, 1869. Winters in large numbers in 

 Florida, and I was assured, upon good authority, that it 

 remained during the summer, but the nest has never been 

 found ! How they propagated was a mystery to those un- 

 acquainted with its northern migration. 



196. Limosa Hudsonica, Swain. — Hudsonian God- 

 wit, " Goose-Bird," " Black-tail," " Spot-neck." Very rare 

 during the migrations. 



197. Numenius longirostris, Wils. — Long-billed 

 Curlew, " Sickle-bill." Not uncommon during the migra- 

 tions, but very shy ; but few shot on this account.

 Curlew, "Dough-Bird," "Jack Curlew." Very rare on the 

 migrations. 



199. Numenius borealis, Lath. — Esquimaux Cur- 

 lew, "Flute." Not uncommon during the migrations. The 

 " Dough-Bird " of gunners. , Very fat in autumn. 



PHALAROPODID^,— The Phalaropes. 



200. Steganopus Wilsonii, Coues. — Wilson's Pha- 

 larope. Accidental on the coast. Audubon appears to be 

 the only one who records it from this section. 



201. Phalaropus fulioarius, Bon. — Red Phalarope. 

 Occasional during the migrations along the coast. 



202. Lobipes hyperboreus, Cuv. — Northern Phala-
