IV. NOTES ON THE DIFFERENT BIRDS. 
1. Colymbus aiiritllS Linn. M. of 11, all shot in the 
spring. L. 317-355. W. 142-158. T. 25-32. B. 22-27. 
Many are seen in the spring. Some may very likely breed; 
but none noticed in June. In 1882 none shot before April 16, 
when two were seen. Most abundant about April 25. Last one 
shot May 11. In 1883 the first, April 16th. Two the 22d. The day 
after in flocks. Most numerous about May 4th. 
No other Colymbus was shot or seen by me. C. nigricollis 
californicus (Heerm.) is said to breed in many of the small lakes of 
Wisconsin (Hoy) and C. holboellii (Reinh.) is seen in winter in 
Lake Michigan (Nelson). 
2. Podilymbns podiceps (Linn.). X X M. of 5 (N.) L. 311— 
359. W. 126-133. T. 25-32. Extremely abundant in autumn, 
and seen till the rivers freeze. More rarely observed in the 
spring. Must moreover breed in large numbers about here; 
but mostly in the old river-beds. Saw many newly-hatched 
young. 
3. Urinator illlfoer (Gunn.). M. of $ shot in Shioc River, May 
3, 1883. L. 624. W. 343. T. 50. B. 82. Several seen in April 
and May, mostly in Wolf River. Breeds in Wisconsin and per¬ 
haps around Shiocton. 
Shot no other Urinator. In winter U. arcticus (Linn.) and 
U. lumme (Gunn.) are found in Lake Michigan. 
Synthliborhamphus antiquus (Gmel.), a western bird, is found 
in Wisconsin (C. L.). 
(4.) Lams glaucus Brunn. Is seen in winter in Lake Michi¬ 
gan. Possibly seen on a dead fish on the shore of Shioc River, 
April 26, 1883. It might have been, however, L. leucopterus 
Faber, which is said to be more common (Nelson).
