73. GALLINAGO MEDIA WILSONI, Ridgw.—— Wilson’s Snipe.—On April 
1st, in company with our host, Mr. Joseph Collins, we repaired to a 
favorite snipe ground within a few miles of “Silvery.’’ The place 
had formerly been an extensive and valuable sugar plantation, but a 
crevasse occurring in the levee opposite, some years previous to our 
visit, had let in the flood of waters, and converted the level plain into 
a series of ridges and gulleys, with here and there a small pond; the 
whole overgrown with weeds and vines, and forming a very attractive 
resort for Gallinago. Here we enjoyed several hours of good sport, 
finally turning our horses’ heads homeward with full pockets, sharpened 
appetites, and that peculiar sense of general satisfaction known only, 
perhaps, to the successful sportsman.
