The Dovekie < Ml< alle) : an Addition to the Fauna of South Caro- 

 lina. I am indebted to my friend Dr. Leonard C. Sanford, for the gift 

 of a beautifully mounted specimen of a ma!'- Dovekie, which was picked up 

 dead off Beaufort, 8. C . in February, 1909, and forwarded to him in 

 theflesh. Mr. II. II. Brimley has recorded the abundance of this bird from 

 Roanoke Island to Beaufort, North Carolina, in January, 1909. 



This South Carolina record extends the range of this boreal bird more 

 than two hundred mil— to the southward, and is the second species of the 

 Alcidse recorded from the State. Arthur T. Wayne, Mount Pleasant,
