GENERAL NOTES. 
The Red-necked Grebe in Michigan in Winter. —On the 12th of this 
month (March, 1900) a fine female specimen of the Red-necked Grebe 
(Colymbus holbelli’) was picked up in a frozen condition on a lake two 
and one half miles west of this city. In skinning it I found that one 
of the radii had been fractured by a shot. The wound had healed exter- 
nally and the bone had fused, showing that it had been injured before 
the winter set in and had been unable to take its departure, as it other- 
wise would have done, and this accounts for its presence at such an unus- 
ual period. This bird is of very rare occurrence in Michigan. It is 
now in my collection. — PERcy S. SELous, Greenville, Mich. 
The Dovekie (Ad/e alle) on the Coast of Virginia. — Two Dovekies 
(Alle alle) were shot from a blind Dec. 13, 1899, about one mile west of 
Killick Shoal Light, in Chincoteaque Bay, Virginia, by Wm. H. Cookman 
of Germantown, Philadelphia. The birds were positively identified and 
it was stated by R. T. Taylor, a resident gunner during the past twenty 
years, that he had never seen any birds like them before in that locality. 
There were four birds in the flock.— Wm. L. Batty, Ardmore, Pa.
