in great numbers about the swamps. Was especially numerous 
at a place in the edge of East Swamp where it had one of its 
play grounds. In 1881, the last was seen November 13. In 
1882, I did not hear it bleat before April 17. Afterward it 
was heard from the house almost daily, both morning and even¬ 
ing, till May 6. After that day only occasionally, as May 18 
and 19 and June 16. In flocks about July 22. Was heard to 
bleat again in autumn, as October 17 and 18, and November 10. 
In 1883, the first were seen at noon April 9. In the evening a 
single one bleated. Was first heard again April 14, when there 
were many participants. Afterward almost daily. Fewer 
than in 1882. 
May 17th, 1883, I shot a $ sitting on the top of the stump 
of a young tree, twelve feet from the ground. 
Macrorhamphus griseus (Gmel.) and Micropalama himan- 
topus (Bonap.) are seen in Wisconsin in migration (King). 
34. Trin ga miimtilla Vieill. M. of 2 shot on Wolf River, 
August 1, 1882, in company with Actitis maculctria. L. 142-160. 
W. 88-93. T. 33-43. Middle toe and claw 20^-22. Not seen 
very often, but said to breed in Wisconsin. 
Many small waders of the same genus I had not opportunity 
of shooting. At Fox River in Brown county Tringa maculata 
Vieill., T. bairdii (Coues), and T. alpina pacifica (Coues) 
appear regularly. Besides T. canutus Linn., T. maritima 
Brunn., and T. fuscicollis Vieill. migrate through Wisconsin 
(King). Ereunetes pusillus (Linn.) is a regular visitor at Be 
Pere (Willard). Calidris arenaria (Linn.), Limosa fedoa 
(Linn.), which was shot at Green Bay, and L. hwmastica ( Linn.) 
are also seen in Wisconsin. 
35. Totaims melanoleucus (Gmel.). M. of 11. L. 332-364. 
W. 180-201. T. 72-84. B. 56-59. Very abundant in migra¬ 
tion. Must undoubtedly breed in Wisconsin and possibly at 
Shiocton. Breeds sparingly in Illinois (King). In 1882 the 
first was seen April 24. On the 29th, in the evening, a flocK 
of thirty-five alighted near the house. May 4, great flocks; 
also the following days. The last observed May 16. In 1883 
the first, April 24. Some few the following days. In flocks — for 
the most part very large — from April 28 till May 12. A single
