Holmes, R. 1957 Erolia melanae 8 July Barrow, Alaska and near Voth's Area. One contained 17 males), another 6, and several other small and scattered groups. They appeared to spend most of the time feeding, and when flushed would flee fly in a group. One male was heard giving the display (call (F.A.P.) near trapline IV.B. 12 July Barrow, Alaska Four were seen just east of Voth's Area. Apparently they were all males; their auricles have diminished and the dark coloration has changed to light brown in the chest regions. Three of these were collected by N. Atkka. Two were female evident apparently had just failures and one was a male. The 92 had heavy fat and were molting. 13 July Barrow, Alaska The nest was checked at 1400. As approached, the female sat very low so that the tall grass and sedge concealed her. When about 2 feet away, she fluttered off and did a very vigorous distraction display.
