 dent, although it was seen but a few times, as it lives about 

 wet marshes and ponds. At Birchwood Beach it was seen 

 August 2"; and 29 ; and in 1918 there was one May 7 at Willow 

 Brook. Only one was observed at Warren Dimes in 1920

Coturnkops noveboracensis. Yellow Rail. — A rare summer 

 resident. One was noted near Lakeside in May, 1917, by Dr. 

 J. L. Hancock, who said it stayed for a week about a bushy 

 pond at his summer home. May 6, 1920, the writer found a 

 dead male in perfect condition on top of the highest Warren 

 Dune. It had evidently struck a limb while crossing the top 

 of the dune, as it lay just beyond the sharp crest of a blowout. 



Gallinula galeata. Florida Gallinule. — Not a common sum- 

 mer resident. May 8, 1918, two were on the middle pond 

 back of the dunes, where one was also seen May 19, 1920. 



Philohela minor. Woodcock. — A not rare summer resident. 

 The writer saw one near Willow Brook August 27, 1917, and 

 September 5 one was found dead at Birchwood Beach. In 

 May, 19 1 8, two were at Willow Brook. Single specimens 

 were recorded at Warren Woods May 19 and May 26, 1919. 

 May 13, 1920, a woodcock and her nest with four eggs was 

 found in the thick second growth at the edge of the north pond 

 at Warren Dunes. The eggs hatched May 15. 



Gallinago delica,\ta. Wilson's Snipe. — A common migrant 

 first seen at the south pond September 10, 1917. May 10, 1918, 

 it was noted at Birchwood Beach in a wet meadow, and four 

 were seen at Warren Dunes May 10, 1920. 



Pisohia bairdi. Baird's Sandpiper. — This species has been 

 listed as a rare fall migrant in the Great Lakes region, but 

 several were seen by Sherman and the writer, and specimens 

 were taken August 31 and September 5, 191 7.
