THE BLACK NECKED STILT IN 

 MAINE. 



I ran across, the other day, a Maine 

 record for the Black-Necked Stilt, 

 (Himantopus mexicanus), that must 

 have been overlooked when the State 

 list was published. In the O. & O. for 

 1889, Vol. XIV, No. 5, May, P. 78„ a 

 record is given of the capture of this 

 species, at Rockland, Me., early in 

 May (1889). The bird was received 

 by Chas. K. Reed. 



REGINALD HEBER HOWE, JR. 

 Longwood. 



Dr. Souie, saw, while gunning in 

 Unity, Me., in Sept. '99, a male Bob- 

 white (Otyx virginianus) and heard 

 his usual call.
