Abundant durinfr the micirations. The first arrive about 

 July 24, and soon after become very numerous. The fields 

 along the road to Hospital Island are filled with berries, 

 and is a great resort for them. I have started as many as 

 eleven ilocks in one afternoon, some of them numbering 

 hundreds of birds.

 (Esquimaux Curlew.) 



Observed a pair of these birds feeding in a field, but was 

 unable to obtain a shot. I pointed them out to a fisherman, 

 who seemed to recognize them, and stated that they were 

 rare visitors. Although no others w^ere seen, I believe that 

 they regularly visit the islands during the migrations, and 

 are abundant in September. We found them common near 

 Malpeque, P. E. I., in 1875.
