54. PHALAROPUS FULICARIUS (Linnzus). RED PHALAROPE. (222 
Rare migrant. A specimen obtained by Dr. Sccvell, October 23, 1889, near 
Terre Haute. No records for Monroe or Carroll. 
55. STENGANOPUS TRICOLOR Vieillot. WILSON’S PITALAROPE. (224) 
One killed near Frankfort about May 1, 1883, according to C. EH. Newlin. 
56. PHILOHELA MINOR (Gmelin). Wwoopcock. (228) 
Formerly a common summer resident, but now quite rare. During my five 
years’ resident at Terre Haute, I do not think I saw a total of more than 
15 or 20 Woodcock in the county. One of these was seen March 16, 1888. 
I found only one nest; that was east of Terre Haute about four miles in an 
open woodland just north of the Terre Haute—Brazil highway. 
My friend Foster Hight took one near Bloomington, Monroe County, in the 
spring of 1885. 
In Carroll County, the Woodcock was quite common forty years ago, but 
it is now very rare. Nests early in April; young able to fly at least as early 
as June first. 
57. GALLINAGO DELICATA (Ord). WILSON’S SNIPE. (2380) 
Formerly very common spring and fall migrant in all the counties; now 
rather rare. Arrives quite early in the spring; returns from the north in 
August or September and remains until freezing weather drives it on south. 
Carroll County: March 18, 1879, one seen; 19th, one secured. May 1, 1884, 
one seen near road between Delphi and Pittsburg, another seen 14 days 
later. On April 21, 1885, first of the season seen at the Armstrong pond 
south of Camden. There were several of them. This was always a favorite 
place for snipe. 
Monroe County: April 15 and 18, 1886. 
Vigo County: Quite frequent in spring and fall in suitable places along 
the river. March 9, 1888, and May 5, 1891. 
58. PrmsoBprA MACULATA (Vieillot). PECTORAL SANDPIPER. (239) 
A rather uncommon spring and fall migrant in Vigo County. March 17, 
1888, four seen; April 21, 1889. On March 29, 1889, a flock of perhaps 75 
seen at the Five-mile Pond north of Terre Haute, from which eight speci- 
mens were collected. On April 6, of the same year, about 20 were seen at 
the same pond, of which one male and one female were secured. Seen again 
April 21. I found them very good eating. Another obtained May 3, 1890, 
near the Goose Pond. Locally this species is known as “Jim Snipe”. 
As to Carroll County, I have it recorded simply as a rare migrant in 
March and April. For Monroe County I have only two records, March 15 
and 26. 
59. PrIsopIA MINUTILLA (Vieillot). LEAST SANDPIPER. (242) 
Rare spring and fall migrant in Carroll and Monroe counties, as it doubt- 
less is in Vigo also; no definite records.
