GENERAL NOTES. 



Northern Phalaropes off the New Hampshire Coast— While taking my 

 new boat the 'Phalarope' from Rockaway, Long Island, N. Y., to Casco 

 Bay, Maine, I met with numerous flocks of Northern Phalaropes, twenty 

 miles oft" the New Hampshire Coast, August 9, 1S93. I was running my 

 course for Cape Elizabeth and found on coming within sight of land 

 that they disappeared. — Reginald I. Brasher {in fetter to William 

 Dutcher). 



Turkey Vulture in Eastern Massachusetts. — Mr. II. W. Page of 

 Boston called my attention some time ago to a Turkey Buzzard {Cathar- 

 tes aura) which was taken in Weston, Massachusetts, early in April, 

 1893, and I visited the bird April 5, 1894. Mr. Samuel Smith, who has a 

 farm in the western part of the town of Weston (about fourteen miles 

 west of Boston), shot the bird there, merely breaking its wing. He has 

 kept the bird ever since out. of doors in a netting cage about five feet 

 square with a box to retire to, having one side open; he has fed the 

 Vulture on raw fish, raw beef, muskrats, etc., and the bird appeared to 

 me to be in very good condition, except for the general condition of its 

 plumage and the fact that the broken wing set in such a way that it is 

 held at an unnatural angle, slightly elevated. — Francis Beach White, 

 Cambridge, Mass.
