Recent Occurrence of the Florida Gallinule in Southern Maine— Two 
immature male specimens of the Florida Gallinule ( Gallinula galeata) 
have recently been taken on the ‘Dyke ’marsh in Falmouth, near Port- 
land. The first was shot on September 20, 1894, and is preserved in 
the collection of Mr. W. H. Rich, of Portland. The second was shot 
on September 30 of the same year, and is in my own collection. Both 
of these birds were seen by me before they were preserved. — Henry

The Florida Gallinule, Stilt and Buff-breasted Sandpipers near Portland, 
Me., in 1907— On October 15, a female Florida Gallinule ( Gallinula 
galeata ) was shot at Atlantic House Pond, Scarborough Maine. It passed 
into my collection. Its gullet contained three specimens of Planorbis 
campanulatus , and its stomach another. In the gizzard were a number of 
seeds. I am not aware of the previous capture of the bird at Scarborough, 
though two are recorded from Falmouth in 1894 (c/. Brock, Auk, XIII 
p. 255). <A*4l . /9«t />.. f/~ Ti ,
