Lake Umbagog, Maine.
1900. John H. Raymond of Upton, Maine, caught a Brunnich's
Dec.28. Murre alive on Lake Umbagog, December 28, 1900. It died in
captivity on January 7, 1901 and was sent by Mr. Raymond the
next day to William Brewster who was staying with Dr.J.G.Geh-
ring at Bethel, Maine. The bird reached Mr.Brewster at Bethel
frozen, January 10. It was emaciated. Mr.Brewster sent the
bird to Cambridge, Mass., and I received it at the Museum,
on Saturday, Jan.12. I took it to Mr.J.T.Clark, 409 Washing-
ton St., Boston, on Jan.14, and delivered it into his hands
to be made into a skin.
