 hollower and louder, and is heard at a mile's distance, as if issuing from some for- 

 midable being that resided at the bottom of the waters/' Ours js equally appal- 

 ling, and was said by many persons to be heard a mile at evening. 



*193. Of the ibis I obtained five individuals about six years since; they were 

 killed in this town by a sportsman to whom they were unknown. It is the only 

 instance I have found or heard of this bird in Connecticut. 



*194. I have a large specimen of the long-billed curlew, killed here August 3, 



1841. Length twenty seven inches, three feet five inches in alar, bill six inches. 



But I have another from Florida, presented by Mr. Goodsell of Bridgeport, whose 



bill measures seven and a half inches, though I think it the same species. 



*193. Of Schinz's sandpiper I took two specimens three years since, the only 

 s 1 have seen. 



*206. The pill-willet, the green-rump tattler, the spotted-tattler, and Bartrara's 

 tattler, all breed here. 



*209. Of the green shank, I have seen but one, which was killed here last au- 

 tumn.
