T Urdus allolae . 



SantucKet, Llass. 



1878. Near Eel Point I killed one on the edge of the salt 



Sept. 28. marsh . It rose from the grass lil;e a Sparrow and I shot it 



flying. On our retxirn shot another within a few hundred yards 

 ^ of where I discovered the first. This one I saw rise and a- 



light again and going to the spot I actually stepped over it 

 as it lay hidden in the short grass.
