. New England bird life: being a manual of New England ornithology; . the supposed varietyM. scolopacetis are given beyond.) A common spring and autumn migrant. It is alsoconsidered by both Dr. Brewer and Mr. Boardman to bea summer resident in northernNew England, but we have no defi-nite advices of its breeding in ourlimits. It certainly nests very farnorthward, even to the ArcticCoasts of North America, thoughmany individuals re-appear amongus in August. The birds becomeabundant during the following wmonth, and afford excellent sportto the gunners. They frequentmud-bars, flat and marshy mead-ows, in flocks often of considera- § 5ble size, and are in good condition ^ for the table. « Of several sets of eggs I have o examined, laid either by this spe- g cies or by var. scolopacciis, high • in boreal regions of the United ^ States, one set contains four eggs, « another three, another only two ; •but we must presume that four isthe regular nest-complement. Theeggs are not peculiar among theirallies in any respect, and probably no description would. 200 SCOLOPACID^ : SNIPE, ETC. suffice for their positive identification. The followingmeasurements indicate the size and shape: 1.75 by 1.15(unusually long, narrow, and pointed) ; 1.70 by 1.15 ; 1.62by 1.12 (about an average); 1.68 by i.io; 1.55 by i.io(very short). The ground-color is the same as in Gallina-go, with all its variation, while the general character of themarkings is identical, even to the occasional occurrenceof sharp, black tracery over the ordinary spots andblotches. One of the eggs has the markings ratherchocolate than umber-brown, and much smaller andmore diffuse than they are in any .of the examples ofGallinago which happen to be before me. The Red-breasted Snipe is a gentle and unsuspicious creature bynature, most sociably disposed to its own kind, as wellas toward its relatives among the Ducks and waders.In the western regions, where they are not often mo-lested, no birds are more confiding, tho
