12 REVIEW OF PERKINS' "BIRDS OF VERMONT." 



6/. Recurvirostra americana. AMERICAN AVOCET. S/. Allans, one 

 taken by G. E. Edson. 



62. Philohela minor. AMERICAN WOODCOCK. Becoming rare. to 

 October. 



63. Gallinago delicata. WILSON'S SNIPE. Probably not a summer 

 resident, but a common migrant. 



Macrorrhamphus griseus. DOWITCHER. Recorded doubtfully by 

 Dr. Cutting, from Lake Memphremagog. 



Tringa maritima. PURPLE SANDPIPER. An evident error. Breeds 

 only in the far north. Its occurrence in Vermont at all needs confirma- 

 tion. 



64. Tringa maculata. PECTORAL SANDPIPER. Probably not uncom- 

 mon as a migrant. 



65. Tringa fuscicollis. WHITE-RUMPED SANDPIPER. Not improbably 

 'an uncommon migrant. St. Albans Bay, a pair observed in Aug. or 



Sept., Mrs. Woodworth. Also included in Edson's list. 



66. Tringa minutilla. LEAST SANDPIPER. 



67. Ereunetes pusillus. SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPER. Lakes Cham- 

 plain and Bomoseen. 



68. Calidris arenaria. SANDERLING. A rare migrant. Burlington r 

 September, 1841. St. Albans, Edson. 



69. Limosa fedoa. MARBLED GODWIT. Mentioned by Williams as- 

 occurring in Vermont in his 1794 List. 



70. Limosa haemastica. HUDSONIAN GODWIT. 



71. Totanus melanoleucus. GREATER YELLOW-LEGS. May. 



72. Totanus flavipes. LESSER YELLOW-LEGS. As a rule only an* 

 autumn migrant. 



73. Helodramus solitarius. SOLITARY SANDPIPER. Ne&t found at 

 Lake Bomoseen in May, 1898, by J. Richardson. This record, I under- 

 stand, was not considered authentic by Major Bendire. It has also been 

 said to breed at Wells River where young have been seen from 1876 to 

 1883 by S. M. Chamberlain, and at St. Albans Bay and elsewhere. All' 

 the records need confirmation. 



74. Symphemia semipalmata. WILLET. Perhaps breeds. 



75. Bartramia longicauda. BARTRAMIAN SANDPIPER. Not uncom- 

 monly breeds. April 24 to September. 



Tryngites subruficollis. BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPER. Very rare 

 migrant. Occurrence on Dr. Cutting's authority needs confirmation. 



76. Actitis macularia. SPOTTED SANDPIPER. April to September. 

 Breeds all over the State. 



Numenius . CURLEW. Two species of this genus, probably 



hudsonicus and borealis are spoken of by Williams in his 1794 List as occur- 

 ring in Vermont. 



77. Squatarola squatarola. BLACK-BELLIED PLOVER. 



78. Charadrius dominicus. GOLDEN PLOVER. Migrant. 



79. ^gialitis vocifera. KILDEER PLOVER. This statement refers, ta 

 Lake Champlain region. Brattleboro,Gvo\\\..
