pilot fish und er bis flipper which I procured from Mr. 

 Parsons, und it is now in the collection of tlie Peabody 

 Academy of Science. As this specimen of the Derma- 

 tochelys is the third one taken on the coast of Essex 

 County, it may be recorded as one of the Testudinata of this 

 county. This is in accordance with the recorded list of

 cies of birds that are recorded as county specimens are

 tions to the north in the breeding season.
