14 Descriptions of New Species of Helicidoe. 



MACRORAMPHUS SCOLOPACEUS (Say) Lawrence. Uncommon 

 saw but few of them. Those seen were at a salt pond, called 

 Aqua Nueva, in South Western Texas, at least one hundred

PLECTROPHANES McCowNii Lawrence. Procured two spe- 

 cimens on the Texas prairies. I fired at a flock of Shore Larks,

TYRANNULA CINERASCENS Lawrence, Ash-colored Fly- 

 catcher. The only specimen procured was killed between San 

 Antonio and the Eio Grande, near a small water course.
