Wilson’s Phalarope ( Steganopus tricolor ) at Ocean City, N. J. — To 
the best of my knowledge the published records of Wilson’s Phalarope on 
the New Jersey coast are limited to two specimens recorded by Dr. C. 
C. Abbott, as taken at Deal Beach, Monmouth Co. (Birds of New Jersey, 
in Cooke’s Geol. of N. J., 1868). I was never able to trace up these speci- 
mens, and the many evident errors in the list in which they are mentioned, 
naturally casts some doubt on the validity of the record. It is with much 
pleasure, therefore, that I am able to place on record the capture of a fine 
adult female of this species by Mr. Gilbert II. Moore, at Ocean City, N. J., 
May 19, 1898. The bird was in company with a flock of the smaller 
shore birds when shot. 
Mr. Moore has presented the specimen to the local collection of the 
Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. — Witmer Stone, Acad.
