79. NUMENIUS LONGIROSTRIS, Wils. 

 (Long-billed Curlew.) 



On August 1 2 I observed two birds which I believed to 

 be of this species. 



One day I showed a specimen of the Hudsonian Curlew 

 to an old seal hunter and asked him if he had ever killed 

 any larger. He answered that he had occasionally killed 

 them larger, " avec le bee beaucoup plus longue."
