80. MUMENIUS HUDSONICUS, Lath. 
(HUDSONIAN CURLEW.) 
Abundant during the migrations. The first arrive about 
July 24, and soon after become very numerous. The fields 
along the road to Hospital Island are filled with berries, 
and is a great resort for them. I have started as many as 
eleven flocks in one afternoon, some of them numbering 
hundreds of birds. 
81. NUMENIUS BOREALIS, (Forst.) Lath. 
(EsQuIMAUX CURLEW.) 
Observed a pair of these birds feeding in a field, but was 
unable to obtain a shot. I pointed them out to a fisherman, 
who seemed to recognize them, and stated that they were 
rare visitors. Although no others were seen, I believe that 
they regularly visit the islands during the migrations, and 
are abundant in September. We found them common near 
Malpeque, P15 :in. 1375. 
52: ARDEA HERODIAS, L. 
(GREAT BLUE HERON.) 
A common summer visitor. Breeds.
