The Occurrence of the Sea Dove at Kehoboth, 
Mass.-A specimen of tlie Sga Dove, (Aife nigricans) was 
shot in a small fresh water pond about a quarter of a mile 
from my house, on November 25, 18S5. Probably the 
storm of the previous days had blown the little fellow in¬ 
land from his usual habitat. This is the first occurrence T 
have noted of this species at this place, but several hunters 
assert that during a severe winter several years ago the 
“Little Auks were quite frequently shot.” They were, i 
presume, this species, as it is not very uncommon for them 
to occur inland during boisterous weather. I. II. C.

Another Occurrence of the Dovekie Inland. —Mr. 
E. A. Capen, of Canton, Mass., writes that he captured 
alive a fine specimen of the Dovekie at the above locality 
on November 26, 1885. The close proximity of the two 
dates of capture would more strongly indicate the reason 
of their occurring inland being due to the violent storm on 
the coast just previous to the above dates.
