LIST. 35 



Subfamily Fulicince. Coots. 

 Genus Fulica. Linnaeus. 



62. American Coot. (Coot.) F. americana. (Gmel.) 



" Summer Resident," scarce. I have occasionally 

 shot them in the autumn at Lake St. Peter, where 

 probably a few breed in the extensive marshes 

 around the lake. I shot a fine specimen April 28, 

 1893, in a swamp at Lake of Two Mountains, and 

 heard another one at the same time making a most 

 dismal noise in the evening till dark. 



Order Limicolce. Shore Birds. 



Family Phalarojjodidce. Phalaropes. 



Genus Phalaropus. Brisson. 



Subgenus " Phalaropus." 



63. Northern Phalarope. (Red-necked Phalarope.) 



P. lobatus. (Linn.) 



" Transient Visitant," rare. This little aquatic 

 bird resembles somewhat the sandpipers when seen 

 flying, and it is rather surprising to see them alight 

 on the water like ducks. Mr. Kuetzing has seen 

 them exposed for sale in our markets in the month 

 of September.
