Columbus auritus. Podiceps cornutus v Taken on Richardson & M. Mrs. Bartlett of "Poplar Tavern", Nanny, has a mounted Horned Grebe which she tells me was shot at the head of Richardson Lake last spring. As it is in the gray winter plumage I think she must be wrong about the date though the locality is doubtless reliable. Mr. Jenkins, a gentleman from New York, has also shown me a Horned Grebe which he shot on Umbagog in Sept. 1892. Oct. 15. A flock of eight on Umbagog (in another card) Podiceps cornutus v On Lake Umbagog. I shot two specimens this afternoon in the open lake between B. Point and Goat Island, I was hunting Ducks at the time when I spied a flock of eight birds, which I at first took to be Swans, swimming near the middle of the lake. The guide paddled towards them as cautiously as possible but they flew long before we got within range and after going nearly out of sight returned & alighted to leeward. We again paddled down on them this time before a light breeze. They rose at Upton, Maine Oct. 15, 1892 Richardson Lake, Maine Spring? 1892 13
