Numenius huds onicus . 
1888, Head of Lake, Lake Umbagog. 
September 18. 
To outlet at 8 A.M. Skillings, King and Hill were a- 
head of us but they passed a Curlew (N. hudsonicus ) which stood on 
a mud flat. I fired both barrels at it and after flying ICO yds. 
it dropped dead on the further shore.
