PHALAEOPITS. 



far as New Zealand (Haast, Trans. New Zealand Institute, 1883, p. 279) and Chili (Salvin, 

 Proc. Zool. Soc. 1883, p. 429). I have examples from Kamtschatka and the Kurile 

 Islands. On the American continent it has occurred on both the Atlantic and the Pacific 

 coasts at least as far south as lat. 40°, and Audubon records the occurrence of a flock, 

 consisting of at least a hundred birds, on the banks of the Ohio, in lat. 38°.

Dia°nosis. Phalaropus rostro tenui, breviore (minus quam 25 millim.).
