REVIEW OF PERKINS' "BIRDS OF VERMONT." 13 



j*Egialitis dubia. LITTLE RING PLOVER. An Old World species, 

 here probably synonymous with A. semipalmata. 



80. .gialitis meloda. PIPING PLOVER. Mr. Ross writes me that he 

 did not take the pair, that a collector called his attention to nesting close 

 to a pond near Otter Creek, where Piping Plover were said to have been 

 seen two previous seasons, and owing to this uncertainty of identification, 

 and the unlikelihood of such an occurrence the record had better be 

 expunged. 



81. /Egialitis semipalmata. SEMIPALMATED PLOVER. Mechanicsville, 

 autumn, 1878. Randolph, autumn, 1850, C. S. Paine. 



^Egialitis wilsonia. WILSON'S PLOVER. Evidently an error. A 

 southern species. 



82. Areriaria interpres. TURNSTONE. Evidently a rare migrant. 



83. Colinus virginianus. BOB-WHITE. It is known to occur in the 

 southeastern part of Vermont in a wild state as far north as Londonderry 

 and Townshend where it is reported by F. H. Allen and C. H. Evans. 

 Mrs. Woodworth writes me one or two are occasionallv seen about St. 

 Albans, which were probably introduced, and Mr. Ham writes though not 

 introduced to his knowledge it occurred once in Johnson in 1901. 



84. Canachites canadensis. CANADA GROUSE. It apparently does not 

 occur on Mt. Mansfield in summer, but only in the most northern portions 

 of the State. Victoria, C. H. Horton. 



85. Bonasa umbellus. RUFFED GROUSE. True or nearly true umbel- 

 lus is found in the valleys in the southern portion of the State, but on and 

 about the mountains and in the northern portions the race togata takes 

 its place. 



86. Bonasa umbellus togata. CANADIAN RUFFED GROUSE. 

 Tetraogallus capercailli. CAPERCAILLI. See Introduced Species. 

 Tetrao tetrix. BLACK GAME. See Introduced Species. 

 Pedioecetes phasianellus. SHARP-TAILED GROUSE. See Introduced 



Species. 



Meleagris gallapavo. WILD TURKEY. See Extirpated Species. 



Phasianus torquatus. RING-NECKED PHEASANT. See Intro- 

 duced Species. 



87. Ectopistes migratorius. WILD PIGEON. 



88. Zenaidura macroura. MOURNING DOVE. Mr. Ross writes me he 

 has seen it only twice, both times in the breeding season. 



89. Cathartes aura. TURKEY VULTURE. This and the next species 

 are accidental from the south. JEutaiv, one taken prior to 1883. (Forest 

 & Stream, Vol. IV, p. 5.) 



90. Catharista urubu. BLACK VULTURE. Woodbury, near Montpelier, 

 adult taken July n, 1884, C. W. Graham. (Rand. Notes, No. IX, 1884, 

 p. 4), probably the one in the Fairbanks Museum labelled Danville and 

 taken by Graham. 



Elanoides forficatus. SWALLOW-TAILED KITE. Accidental from the 

 south. Coues' and Steam's say "It was ascribed to Vermont, no doubt
