From descriptions given him Smith.is sat- isfied this bird occurs at times. Since this was written he writes me that during the past season two avocets were sent to him for mounting, one of which was killed about two miles above Norwoo,d, and the other about a mile above Coventry, both having been taken some time between August 15 and September 15.
