In Utali, the Ked-bre;isted Snipe is an abundant migrant, frequenting 

 the shores of the lakes and ponds in flocks exactly , as it is found at the 

 East along the shores of the harbors and inlets. At Denver, it was numer- 

 ous in early May, pursuing its way to its northern breeding grounds. 



x\pparently an uncommon visitor in Arizona. A pair were taken at 

 Mimbres by Dr. C. G. Newberry. They represent the form hitherto kn()\\n 

 as var. scolopaceus^ which is now referred by Dr. Coues to the true griseus.

Only known in the West as a migrant, in which character it has been 

 detected by our parties in various parts of Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, 

 and Arizona. It is rarely seen in as large flocks as may be met with at any 

 time during the fall passage to the south, along the eastern beaches and 

 marshes, but is scattered over the country at large on the bonlers of the 

 streams, in any spot sufliciontly marshy to afford it a supply of the n)inute 

 Crustacea and worms which satisfy its cravings.
