The Water Thrash appears to be of rare occurrence in the Middle 

 Province, though it doubtless passes through in its migrations, and occurs 

 at many points where it has not been reported from the lack of observers 

 and the short time its passage occupies. At Denver, I secured a single indi- 

 vidual May 12, and in a few days small numbers were observed, usually 

 singly, by the side of pools and streams. Near Camp Crittenden, the latter 

 part of August, one was found on a small water course ; this being the only 

 occasion I have detected it in Arizona, nor am I aware that it is elsewhere 

 recorded from this Tenitory.
