Eskimo Curlew in Massachusetts.— I am informed by Mr. E. H. 
Ives of Boston that a flock of about fifty Eskimo Curlew ( Numenius 
borealis) was seen last spring (May 17, 1916) at Chub-Head Sands, near the 
mouth of the Rowley River between the towns of Ipswich and Rowley, 
Mass. 
A letter to Mr. Ives from J. E. Short (not dated) says, “ I should say 
there were fifty of them — they stayed around two days. Charles Bartlett 
saw them (also) and he said he had n’t seen any for 15 years.” 
Both Short and Bartlett are “ clammers ” and have been experienced, 
shore-bird gunners in the past. Air. Ives has talked with both these men 
and others at Rowley and feels certain that there was no mistake in identi- 
fication. — John C. Phillips, Wenham, Mass.
