10 PROCEEDINGS OF THE 



Green Heron — Butorides virescens virescens. Nested near 

 Rowlands in 1911 (Miller). 



King Rail — Rallus elegans. Several killed during the early 

 nineties, though the species never appeared abundant (Smith). 



VirGiNiA Rail — Rallus virginianus. A pair nested in the cave 

 near Crystal Springs in the summer of 1897, which I observed 

 with the young. Evidently nesting near the old piggery of the 

 Bureau of Correction June 4, 1902 (Miller). 



Yellow Rail — Coturnincops noveboracensis. One at Brides - 

 burg in December 1914 (Miller). 



Coot — Fulica americana. The only example from the Penny- 

 pack was killed above the first dam in the early nineties. 



Greater Yellowlegs — Totanus melanoleucus. A flock of 

 about thirty seen off Torresdale in the late nineties, from which 

 several were shot, and which I examined when mounted, forms 

 my only additional note. 



Lesser Yellowlegs — Totanus flavipes. I obtained two ex- 

 amples, now in the Club Collection, shot from a flock of forty 

 or more at Willits Pond during 1896. These birds were not 

 shy, readily flushed, and quite noisy. Several also seen at 

 Willits Pond in May 1901 (Miller). 



Upland Plover — Bartramia longicauda. Breeding at Sandi- 

 ford in 1903 (Miller). 



Black-bellied Plover — Squatarola squatarola. This species 

 is credited to me^ as having been seen at Bristol, August 19, 

 1909, though this locality is erroneous as the bird was seen on 

 the shores of the Delaware River at Bordentown, N. J. We 

 approached it within a few feet, while in a row-boat, and had 

 an excellent opportunity to watch it a short time before it flew 

 away. 



Killdeer — Oxyechus vociferus. Saw two on February 27, 

 1912 at Holmesburg. 



Mourning Dove — Zenaidura macroura carolinensis. Nested on 

 the ground at Blue Grass, May 10, 1902 (Miller). 



Turkey Vulture — Cathartes aura septentrionalis. About five 

 or six along the river marshes between 1885 and 1896. One
