6 Macrorhamphus scolopaceus, law.- A female was shot at 
Eastham by Mr. Frank L. Tileston,. November 2, 1878. Wbhout pi-esum- 
in „ t0 decide whether this is entitled to rank even as a vauety, the 
‘rlls tt this bird was in a very different form from the common 
M. or i S eus and was shot at a period mneh later than the latter btrd 
been known to appear.

Long-billed Dowitcher, Macrorhamphus scol- 
opaceus (Say.) A rare migrant. In New Eng- 
land Bird Life , Vol. II, I find the following 
note: “A female was shot at Eastham by 
Mr. L. Tileston, November 2, 1878. I have not 
been able to distinguish it from M. griseus.

Macrorhamphus scolopaceus? — Aug. 29, 1895. A male bird (bv dis- 
section) was taken at the Hummock Pond. This being a young bird of 
the year, it is next to impossible to certainly identify it. AT. griseus 
is not uncommon here, but this is the first instance in which 1 have 
taken what I suppose to be A/. scolopaceus.
