Red Phalarope ( Phalaropus fulicarius) off Boston Harbor in Sum- 
mer. — On July 11, 1913, when Miss Cleveland, local secretary of the 
Massachusetts Audubon Society, and I were returning by boat to Boston, 
from Plymouth, a small duck-like, brightly colored bird caught my eye just 
as the boat passed the Harding’s Ledge buoys just outside Boston Harbor. 
We examined the bird carefully with our glasses, and it proved to be a Red 
Phalarope in full plumage, the first of the kind we had ever seen, but 
we had good views and were able to positively identify it. — Lidian E.
