 Bmm., p. 5 ; Piitn., p. 230 ; All., p. 86.) 



Himantopus nigricolUs Vieill. — Black-necked Stilt.

 has found them near New York. 



PH AL AROPODID^ . 



Sleganopus 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.)

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

Lohipes hyperboreus Cuv. — Northern Phalarope. Not
