Crymouhilus full car ius . 
Lake Umbagog, Maine. 
1387. Off the entrance to sandy Cove we left them (the steamer) 
K 
Sept.29. and paddled for the west shore. On the way I discovered a- 
head a long-necked whitish bird which looked at first like a 
US' 
Horned Grebe. On getting nearer we found it to be a Bed Phal- 
arope. It was swimming briskly about bobbing its head quick¬ 
ly at each foot stroke and sifting the water through its bill 
or at least seeming to do this. It paid no attention whatever 
to our approach and after watching it awhile I killed it with 
a light charge. 
To Outlet at 7.30 A.M. Saw two Red Phalaropes alight on 
the flooded meadow and found them swimming about in a patch 
of grass apparently picking some&king ofi -the stems.
