APPENDIX — REPORT ON ZOOLOGY. 357 
150 Bonaparte’s Sandpiper, a white-rumped Sandpiper (Tringa fuscicollis), 
given as “an occasional autumn visitant.” 
Note. — From my records, I find I took a male at Red Head, October 7, 
1897, a female at the mouth of Little River, October 16, 1897, a female 
at the latter place, August 27, 1898, a female at Red Head, September 
30, 1899, and on each occasion several were seen. It would seem in 
order to now report this species as “ a regular autumn visitant.” 
1521 (No. to place species in proper position in list). Curlew Sandpiper 
(Tringa ferruginea). This species does not appear in Section A (it is 
No. 244 in Section B.) 
Note. — I took a male at Red Head Marsh, August 3, 1895. This is the 
first report of this bird for this county. 
168 Virginia Rail (Rallus Virginianus), given as “a common summer 
resident.” 
Note. — As far as my collecting or notes go, I have never met with this 
species, nor have I known of any collected, with the exception of a 
female (now in my collection) and taken at Gardener’s Creek, September 
8, 1899, by J. J. Wallace. 
169 Sora Rail (Porzana Carolina), given as “ an uncommon summer resident.” 
Note. — It certainly is a common autumn visitant, for never in the fall 
have I been on any of our local marshes without seeing the Sora, and 
my records show two females taken at Red Head — one on September 14, 
1895, and the other on the 2lst, a female at Little River, October 19, 
1895, and a male at the latter place on October 9, 1896. I do not think 
there is a local “ snipe shooter ” who has not taken the “ Sora.” 
190 Harlequin Duck (Histrionicus Histrionicus, given as “ a rare spring and 
autumn visitant.” 
Note, — A pair were collected on April 16, 1896, and a male on April 20, 
1896, at Point Lepreau. I now have the two former, and the latter is 
in the collection of this Society. 
193 King Eider (Somateria spectabilis), given as “ a rare winter visitant.” 
Note. — I now have a fine female taken at Point Lepreau, May 2, 1896. 
209 Great Black-Backed Gull (Larus marinus), given as “an uncommon 
resident,” 
Note. — Two fine males taken at North Head, Grand Manan, January 
7, 1898, one I now have, the other is in the collection of this Society.
