194. Tryngites ruf escens, CAB. Buff-breasted Sand 

 piper, "Little Plover." Rare spring and autumn migrant; 

 found on the sandy shores. 



195. Limosa fedoa, ORD. Marbled Godwit, "Brant- 

 Bird," " Badger-Bird." Rare during the migrations. Mr. 

 H. B. Farley informs me that he shot a specimen at 

 Ipswich on July 17, 1869. Winters in large numbers in 

 Florida, and I was assured, upon good authority, that it 

 remained during the summer, but the nest has never been 

 found ! How they propagated was a mystery to those un- 

 acquainted with its northern migration. 



196. Limosa Hudsonica, SWAIN. Hudsonian God- 

 wit, " Goose-Bird," " Black-tail," " Spot-neck." Very rare 

 during the migrations. 



197. Numenius longirostris, WILS. Long-billed 

 Curlew, " Sickle-bill." Not uncommon during the migra- 

 tions, but very shy ; but few shot on this account. 



198. Numenius Hudsonicus, LATH. Hudsonian 

 Curlew, "Dough-Bird," "Jack Curlew." Very rare on the 

 migrations. 



199. Numenius borealis, LATH. Esquimaux Cur- 

 lew, "Flute." Not uncommon during the migrations. The 

 " Dough-Bird " of gunners. Very fat in autumn. 



PHALAROPODID^E, THE PHALAEOPES. 



200. Steganopus Wilsonii, COUES. Wilson's Pha- 

 larope. Accidental on the coast. Audubon appears to be 

 the only one who records it from this section. 



201. Phalaropus fulioarius, BON. Red Phalarope. 

 Occasional during the migrations along the coast. 



202. Lobipes hyperboreus, Cuv. Northern Pkala- 

 rope. Not common during the migrations. 



While migrating, the Phalaropes generally keep off the 

 coast.
