go THE BIOLOGICAL REVIEW. 



brought to me, which was secured out of a flock of five on 

 Silver Island, a few miles from Thunder Cape. The first 

 specimen ever seen in that locality. 



Phalaropus lobahis. — On August 24th I secured a single 

 specimen of the Northern Phalarope out of a flock of small 

 sandpipers. The only one seen. 



Gallinago delicata. — I received several pairs of the Wilson's 

 Snipe and one pair of Dowitchers (Mocrohamphus griseus) in 

 October. 



Among the sandpipers and plover found were Tringa 

 juaculata (Pectoral Sandpiper) ; (Least Sandpiper) Tringa 

 minutilla ; Tringa alpina pacifica (Red-backed) ; Ereunetes 

 pusillus (Semipalmated) ; Calidris arenaria (Sanderling) ; 

 Totanus melanoleucus and Totanus fiavipes (Greater and Lesser 

 Yellow Legs) ; Totanus solitarius (Solitary Sandpiper) ; Actitis 

 macularia (Spotted Sandpiper) ; Charadrius squatarola (Black- 

 bellied) ; Charadrius dominions (Golden Plover) ; JEgialitis 

 vocifera (Killdeer). But, like the ducks, they were in such poor 

 plumage as to make them of little value. 



Among the grouse were Dendragapus canadensis (Spruce 

 Partridge) ; Bonasa nmbellus (Ruffled Grouse) ; and Pedioccetes 

 plisaianellus, common in some places, some good specimens of 

 each being taken. 



Circus hudsonius. — The Marsh Hawk was about the most 

 abundant of the hawks. Not being satisfied with marsh, 

 several specimens were secured among the hills and rocks near 

 Gunflint Lake. 



Accipiter velo.x. — Sharp-shinned Hawks were also tolerably 

 common. 



Accipiter atricapillus. — The Goshawk is sometimes found in 

 the fall. One adult female brought to me was the finest bird I 

 had ever seen. She was twenty-six inches long, and had a 

 spread of four feet ten inches. 



Aquila chrysaetos. — Two splendid specimens of the Golden 

 Eagle were secured in the fall of 1891, one by W. H. Davis and 

 one by a Mr. Garland. Both are very poorly mounted, and 

 spoiled specimens now. None were seen this year.
