Dr. Avery's original notes show that he took one of 

 these birds at Cocke's Pond, five miles west of Greens- 

 boro, July 26, 1891, though unfortunately the specimen 

 is not now in the collection. He writes : "This bird has 

 been seen several times but never collected till this speci- 

 men and hence never with certainty identified. When it 

 was seen some years ago at Cocke's Pond it was then sup- 

 posed to be the wood stork or ibis." His supposition 

 seems to have been correct.
