bcrgii), Wood Tortoise ( Clemmys insculpta ), Spotted Terrapin 
(Clemmys guttata) and Box Tortoise (Terra pene Carolina). 
Of the Lepidoptera, Diptera, Hemitera, Hymenoptera, Odo- 
nata and Ortlioptera there are many representatives and the 
field offers many opportunities to the entomologist throughout 
the section. Likewise the Mammalia and other forms of Yerte- 
brata and Invertebrata. To the geologist and Indian relic hun- 
ter this section is rich in finds to all alike. 
Golymbus holboelli — Holboell’s Grebe. 
One male was observed on November 25, 1918, swimming and div- 
ing on the surface of the lake near Pine Island during the early morning. 
This is the only record that I have been able to find of this species on 
this lake, although it is quite possible similar occurrences may have been 
made by this species. 
Coly mbits auritus — Horned Grebe. 
A regular spring and fall migrant. First observed on this lake on 
April 14, 1906, and the latest record for any year was made on October 
12. 1914. A male and female were observed on August 10, 1912, which 
is the earliest autumnal record made. These birds are well named by 
the natives, whose vernacular for them is Dipper Ducks. In every in- 
stance they would never let me approach nearer than seventy-five feet 
but that they would submerge and re-appear some two or three hundred 
feet off. 
Tacbybaptus podiccps — Pied-billed Grebe. 
A regular spring and autumn migrant. Occasional summer resident. 
They appear about April 10 in the spring and are last seen about October 
5 in the fall. Never more than about a total of fifteen birds are observed 
each spring and fall. Two nests were located by the writer in the marshes 
near Belcher Creek, one June 5, 1916, with two fresh eggs, and another 
on July 1, 1917, with a complete set of seven eggs, well incubated. 
Gavia ivvmer — Loon. 
A rare visitant. One male was observed by the writer on April 2, 
1914, swimming on the lake near Finigan’s Cove. This constitutes all 
that I can find for this locality, although a resident of Hewitt advises me 
he shot one some years ago and bore out the statement by producing the 
bird stuffed. This gentleman claims he secured tihs bird near Pine 
island on one of his duck-shooting excursions. 
Larus argentatus — Herring Gull. 
A common spring migrant, but rare in the autumn. Occasional dur- 
ing the winter when the lake is free of ice. Only one autumnal date 
(October 3, 1914) has been secured. 
Hydrochelidon nigra surinamensis — Black Tern. 
A dead bird was picked up by the writer on the bank of Belcher 
Creek on June 8, 1916. Apparently a straggler. 
M erg us a mrrican us — Merganser. 
An occasional winter visitant. Observed January 18, 1903, at Chapel 
Island, and on February 12, 1914, at Belcher Creek.
