13. Phalaropus tricolor. Wilson’s Phalarope. My friend, Mr. 
Charles E. Perkins, again enriched my collection of Long Island birds by 
sending to me, September 13, 1887, a specimen of this Phalarope, which 
he shot that day, at Shinnecock Bay, Suffolk Co., while shooting Bay^ 
birds (Limicolas) over decoys. Two days after he shot another.

16. Steganopus wilsoni. Wilson’s Phalarope.— On October 10, 1874, 
I had one of these birds settle in my decoys, swimming among them quite 
fearlessly. On October 15, 1879, 1 6aw one swimming in the East River 
at the foot of Pine Street, New York City. It was very gentle, the steam- 
er I was on passing within twenty-five feet of it, when it started, flew a 
short distance, and settled on the water again.

10. Steganopus wilsoni {Sab.) Coties. WTlson’s Phala- 
rope. — Mr. Charles E. Perkins, of Hartford, Conn., wrote me : 
“While at Shinnecock Bay, L. I., August 20, 1883, I shot a 
bird which none of the gunners recognized, and I ordered it 
sent to you. I should like to know what it is.” It proved to 
be a Wilson’s Phalarope. Subsequently one of the gunners 
informed me that a similar bird was shot a few clays later by 
another sportsman, but he could not secure it for me.
