L. 
Philomachus pugnax Gr. Female. Killed at Upton, Ox¬ 
ford County, Maine, September 8th, 1874. It was shot while 
flying on the marshes at the mouth of Cambridge River. My at¬ 
tention was attracted to it by its peculiar hawk-like flight, which, 
provided it be a constant attendant of its motions, should at 
once distinguish it while on wing from any other Tringce. I 
am aware that this species has already been given in Mr. G. 
A. Boardman’s “List of the Birds of Calais, Me.,” but Dr. 
Brewer informs me that none of the specimens therein referred 
to were taken within Maine limits. The only authentic N. E. 
quotation that I can at present recollect is the record of a Mass, 
specimen in “ Am. Nat.,” vol. vi, p. 306. The occurrence of 
the present individual so far inland is worthy of remark.
