Wayne: Birds op South Carolina. xix 



cally been a lost species since it was first taken by Bachman in 

 1833. Success in this quest came first to Mr. Wayne, although 

 Mr. Brewster took a specimen a week later. 



For more than twenty-five years Mr. Wayne has maintained a 

 continuity of field work seldom equalled. It is of interest to note 

 that he has been absent from the coast region on but five occa- 

 sions. From July to October 1882 he worked about Greenville, 

 seeing two pairs of Wild Pigeons at Caesar 's Head in July of that 

 year. He has made four trips to Florida: March to August, 1892; 

 October and a part of November, 1892; February to June, 1893; 

 and February to July, 1894. From August 1908 to the same 

 month in 1909 he was away from the State on account of illness. 

 With these exceptions Mr. Wayne has been continuously in the 

 field for thirty years. The fact that some of his most remark- 

 able records have been made on the plantation where he lives 

 shows the possibilities of continuous observation of even small 

 regions.

 State: 



1. Stercorarius parasiticus. Parasitic Jaeger.
