GALLINAGO GALLINAGO (Linné). 
EUROPEAN SNIPE. 
The collection contains two purchased specimens, a female and male, 
taken at Copper Island, on April 30, —, and May 8, —, respectively. 
_PHALAROPUS FULICARIUS (Linné). 
RED PHALAROPE. 
We first noted this species in the loose ice off Cape Zhipanov, Kam- 
chatka, May 26, 1913. At St. Lawrence Island it was common east 
of Cape Chibukak, June 24, on the south side June 25, and at the 
southeast end June 27, 1913. Several were seen at East Cape, July 
14, 1913, at Cape Serdze, July 17, and about the ice eighty miles south 
of Wrangel Island, July 19, 1913. 
At Demarcation Point Red Phalaropes were first seen June 4, 1914, 
two single birds anda pair. At Humphrey Point Mr. Dixon took one 
on June 3. 
Although this species is quite common about Demarcation Point 
only one nest wasfound. This was on July 4, and the young were just 
picking through the shells. The nest was better built and in a more 
dry location than those of Northern Phalaropes I have found. 
These birds seem to be very erratic in their movements, one day 
being common, another day quite rare. At all times they appear to 
be tamer than Lobipes lobatus. 
Specimens were taken at St. Lawrence Island, Indian Point, Siberia, 
| _ Humphrey Point, Flaxman Island, Alaska. 
LoBIPES LOBATUS (Linné). 
NORTHERN PHALAROPE. 
During the summer of 1913 this species was observed once at 
Providence Bay, Mr. Dixon securing a female June 22. At the 
southeast end of St. Lawrence Island it was quite common on June 27. 
At Collinson Point, Alaska, Northern Phalaropes were common 
on August 3 and 9, 1913. 
These birds arrived paired at Demarcation Point, on May 23, 
1914, quite a large migration arriving the night of May 28.
