I have seen three large flocks of this species off Saint John 
harbour. It is not given by Mr. Herrick in his Grand Manan 
list, but Mr. Boardman informs me that it is not uncommon 
about the islands at the mouth of the bay, and that he has 
taken several nests. 
165. NORTHERN PHALAROPE. (Lobipes hyperboreus). 
The only occurrence of this species I can learn of in this 
locality is of one that was killed at Point Lepreaux light- 
house in September, 1881. It is now in the possession of Mr. 
Geo. Thomas, light-house keeper. 
Mr. Herrick states that “ thousands may be seen all 
summer” near Grand Manan.
