GENERAL NOTES. 



Briinnich's Murre in Lewis and Jefferson Counties, New York. — On 

 Nov. 29, 1900, I had an adult male specimen of Uria lomvia brought to 

 me by a farmer who stated he caught him alive in a mud hole near his 

 home. This is, I believe, the first instance of the captur^e of ^this species 

 in Lewis County. 



A few days later, Dec. 4, I received another from a gunner at Redwood, 

 Jefferson County, who stated there was quite a large flock of them on the 

 lake at that place. This specimen had eight small black bass in its 

 stomach, the largest three inches long. — James H. Miller, Loivville.,
