96. Numenius longirostris, Wils. Sickle-billed Curlew.—Two observed, Dec. 21.
97. Numenius borealis (Forst.) Lath. Esquimaux Curlew.—Rather common migrant, first seen on March 9.
98. Grus canadensis (Linn.) Temm. Sandhill Crane.—Solitary individuals occasionally noted.
99. Anas obscura, Gm. Black Duck.—Small flocks rather unfrequently found in the creek.
100. Chaulelasmus streperus (Linn.) Gray Gadwall.—I did not detect this species until March 25, after which I found it uncommonly.
101. Nettion carolinensis (Gm.) Bd. Green-winged Teal.—Rare. First seen Feb. 6.
102. Fulix collaris (Donov.) Bd. Ring-billed Black-head.—One of three shot, Feb. 27.

104. Plotus anhinga, Linn. Snake-bird.—A female shot by a friend, on March 24.
To the foregoing list of species actually taken or identified beyond question, are to be added six others which I was unable to fix decisively. These are a Hawk, believed to have been Ictinia subcærulea, seen in pursuit of a Buzzard, on March 4; a red-tailed Buteo of which I saw a pair, Feb. 26; a shy, black Buteo, almost undoubtedly Buteo abbreviatus, frequently observed about the village; an Owl, apparently Strix nebulosa, several times scared up in an unusually dense grove of deciduous trees; a Hummer, noted a few times towards the close of my stay; and a beautiful Larus which hovered over the stage as it forded the creek, on my return journey to San Antonio.
