292 COUES, BIRDS OF NEW ENGLAND. 



ILEMATOPODIIXE. 



Hwmatopus palliatus Temm. Oyster Catcher. Of 

 very unusual occurrence, along the coast. (Mass., T. M. 

 Brewer. Peab., p. 358: Emm., p. 5; Putn., p. 230; 

 AIL, p. 86.) 



Strepsilas interpres Illig. Turnstone. Spring and au- 

 tumn migrant. Not common. 



No. 1019. Essex Co. 



No. 1020, $, young. Nahant, Essex Co. S. Jillson, Sept. 1855. 



RECURVIROSTRIDJE. 



Recurvirostra Americana Gm. Avoset. Very rare, 

 and perhaps accidental. (Calais, Me., one instance, 

 spring of 1862. Boardm., p. 128 ; Verr., p. 22. Mass., 

 Emm., p. 5; Putn., p. 230; All., p. 86.) 



Himantopus nigricollis Vieill. Black-necked Stilt. 

 Very rare and perhaps only accidental. (Calais, Me., 

 spring of 1862, one instance. Boardm., p. 128; Verr. t 

 p. 22. Mass., Emm., p. 5; Peab., p. 358; Putn., p. 

 230; All., p. 86. Omitted from Sam., O. 0.) 



The ordinary range of both the preceding species is 

 more southern and western. But Mr. Lawrence (p. 295) 

 has found them near New York. 



PHALAROPODID^E. 



Steganopus Wilsonii Coues. Wilson's Phalarope. 

 Very rare, perhaps only accidental, and chiefly during its 

 migrations. (Putn., p. 227 ; All., p. 86, quoting Audu- 

 bon's authority; Lawr., p. 295; omitted from Sam., 

 O. O.) 



Phalaropus fulicarius Bon. Red Phalarope. Rare or 

 occasional along the coast, during its migrations. (Law., 

 p. 295 ; omitted from 8am., 0. 0.) 



Lobipes hyperboreus Cuv. Northern Phalarope. Not 

 abundant. Chiefly spring and autumn migrant ; but Mr. 

 Verrill thinks some may breed off the coast of Maine. 



This is probably the species spoken of by Mr. Board- 

 man, as very common in the Bay of Fundy. 



No. 1050. Essex Co. S. Jillson, 1856.
