It measures: wing, 493; tarsus, 160; culmen, 124. Four other 
individuals were seen by Miss Alexander on Hawkins Island, 
three by Heller flying across Cordova Bay; one at Zaikof Bay, 
Montague Island; and one at Chenega Island. The species is 
thus quite uncommon in this, the northwesternmost extreme of 
its range. 
Grus canadensis (Linnaeus). Little Brown Crane. 
Dixon secured an adult at the head of Cordova Bay, June 12 
(no. 1125). As it was shot through the body with a rifle the 
sex was indeterminable. Measurement before skinning showed 
a total length of 885 millimeters and a spread of 1700. The 
dry skin measures: wing, 446; tarsus, 178; culmen, 97. Heller 
saw a flock of fifteen flying alone the beach at Hawkins Island, 
the only other record of the species. 
Phalaropus fulicarius (Linnaeus). Red Phalarope. 
One shot by Dixon at Northeast Bay, Hinchinbrook Island, 
July 1, from a sandy beach in the lea of a small island during 
a storm. It is an adult female (no. 1405), in worn summer 
plumage, but with some new white feathers, in sheaths, just 
appearing on the lower parts. Its occurrence in this region at 
this date was evidently abnormal. 
Lobipes lobatus (Linnaeus). Northern Phalarope. 
Seven adult specimens (nos. 1201-1207) obtained at the 
head of Cordova Bay, June 11 to 14. This was the only point 
where the species was found breeding; and here, on the tidal 
marshes, they were fairly common. Three have the lower sur- 
faee of the body rusty-stained, as in the case of the loons from 
the same place before deseribed. Two sets of four eggs each 
were found. In one set the eges were overcast with the deposit 
of iron oxide, which also discolored the grass of the nest and 
the surroundings. Otherwise the five eggs preserved have mark- 
ings of the normal color and pattern. 
Not again met with until the fall migrations were well under 
way. Off Hanning Bay, Montague Island, July 22, several
