The Kittiwake (Rissa tridactyla) on the Coast of Maine in Summer. — 
While in Jericho Bay in 1903, my companion, Mr. Fred Rackliff, saw a 
small gull, with several terns, flying over a tide-rip at the White Horse 
Ledge. On July 111 had occasion to go ashore on the ledge and asked 
him to keep a watch for the strange bird and secure it if possible. On 
rowing to the same place the bird was found, a shot causing it to go and 
alight on the Black Horse where it was secured and its identity settled. 
While it seemed perfectly healthy, it was in worn first winter plumage, 
and barren. It is preserved in my collection. — Arthur H. Norton, 
Portland, Maine.

The Kittiwak e and Purple Sandpiper again in Maine in Summer. — In 
‘The Auk’ for July, 1907 (Vol. XXIV, p. 337) the capture of a Kittiwake 
in 1903 on the coast of Maine in summer was recorded. On July 14, 1907, 
while at Jordans Rock, a submerged ledge one mile S. E. by E. of Port¬ 
land Head Light, a Kittiwake (Rissa tridactyla ) flew over my boat within 
easy range. The small size of the bird, white head, and short black legs 
and feet were distinctly and critically observed as it passed over. It 
flew toward Grundys Reef until it disappeared. J.V, Od.j'jtt'l, H~2>S*
