Sept.15. 
1875; 
Saw throe on the edge of the pond at the foot of 
Vassal Lane. They wore stalking about in the grass 
every now and then stopping and jerking their heads baek> 
ward, and occasionally walking into the water so deep 
that they almost had to swim. They were tamo and I 
watched them for some time, standing within a few yards 
of them. When I finally started them they flew only 
about fifty yards and alighted again. 
One near Fresh Pond.
