General Notes, 
Lagopus lagopus in Maine.— A male Willow Ptarmigan in full winter 
plumage was shot at Kcnduskeag, Maine (a village about eight miles 
from Bangor), on April 23, 1892. It was brought into this city to be 
mounted. The man who killed it reported that it showed little or no 
alarm at his approach, and in fact seemed quite as tame as a domestic 
fowl. This is, I believe, the first instance of this species being taken 
in Maine, and will therefore probably be of interest.— Harry Merrill, 
Bcinsror, Maine. ...
