“T found the remains of one on Smith’s Island, Va., in 
May, 1894. It had been dead about a month, possibly more” 
(Richmond). 
Family Anuincip£—Darters. 
Anhinga anhinga (118). Anhinga. 
In the old collection of the Maryland Academy of Sciences 
was a mounted specimen of the Anhinga, which Prof. Uhler 
says, came from the Pocomoke River, but owing to the vicissi- 
tudes through which the Academy has passed, I have been unable 
to find the record of its acquisition. 
Family PHALACROCORACID.E—Cormorants. 
Phalacrocorax carbo (119). Cormorant. 
Audubon says, “it is rarely seen further south than the 
extreme limits of Maryland, but from Chesapeake Bay east- 
ward it becomes more plentiful” (vii, 418). A specimen may 
occasionally visit us with the following species, as it goes 
casually south as far as the Carolinas (A. O. U.). 
Phalacrocorax dilophus (120). Double-crested Cormorant, 
Regular, but not a common winter visitant near Baltimore. 
Further down the Chesapeake, and on Chincoteague and Sine- 
puxent Bays, itis more numerous. Under date of April 13, 1893, 
Mr. Wm. 8. Walker, of Chestertown, writes me: “The only Cor- 
morant I ever had in hand, I killed some five or six years ago 
at Hail Creek, at the mouth of Chester River. I have since 
that time seen one or more of the birds sitting on buoys in the 
bay between here and Baltimore.” The specimen mentioned was 
in the old collection of the Maryland Academy of Sciences. 
At Ocean City single birds flew northward on June 8 and 
10, 794. 
“One was detected in the District of Columbia many years 
ago” (A. C., 108). Mr. Geo. W. Duvall sent a specimen from 
Annapolis to the Smithsonian (Smith. Rep., ’72, 57).
