CATALOGUE. 6/ 



80. NUMENIUS HUDSONICUS, Lath. 

 (HuDSONiAN Curlew.) 



Abundant during the migrations. The first arrive about 



July 24, and soon after become very numerous. The fields 



along the road to Hospital Island are filled with berries, 



and is a great resort for them. I have started as many as 



eleven flocks in one afternoon, some of them numbering 



hundreds of birds. 



81. NUMENIUS BOREALIS, {Forst.) Lath. 

 (Esquimaux Curlew.) 



Observed a pair of these birds feeding in a field, but was 

 unable to obtain a shot. I pointed them out to a fisherman, 

 who seemed to recognize them, and stated that they were 

 rare visitors. Although no others were seen, I believe that 

 they regularly visit the islands during the migrations, and 

 are abundant in September. We found them common near 

 Malpeque, P. E. I., in 1875. 



82. ARDEA HERODIAS, L. 

 (Great Blue Heron.) 



A common summer visitor. Breeds.
