79. MUMENIUS LONGIROSTRIS, Wits. 
(LONG-BILLED CURLEW.) 
On August 12 I observed two birds which I believed to 
be of this species. 
One day I showed a specimen of the Hudsonian Curlew 
to an old seal hunter and asked him if he had ever killed 
any larger. He answered that he had occasionally killed 
them larger, “avec le bec beaucoup plus longue.”
