EECURVIROSTRID^. 



Recurvirostra Americana Gm. — Avoset. Very rare,

 spring of 1862. Boardm., p. 128 ; Verr., p. 22. — Mass., 

 Emm., p. 5; Putn., p. 230; All., p. 86.)

 p. 22. — Mass., Emm., p. 5; Peab., p. 358; Putn., p.

The ordinary range of both the preceding species is 

 more southern and western. But Mr. Lawrence (p. 295) 

 has found them near New York. 



PHALAEOPODIDJE. 



Steganopus Wilsonii Coues. — Wilson's Phalarope. 

 Very rare, perhaps only accidental, and chiefly during its 

 migrations. {Putn., p. 227 ; All., p. 86, quoting Audu- 

 bon's authority; Lawr., p. 295; omitted from Sam., 

 0. 0.) 



Plialaropus fulicarius Bon. — Bed Phalarope. Rare or 

 occasional along the coast, during its migrations. {Law.,

Lobipes liyperhoreus QiWM . — Northern Phalarope. Not
