Chen caeruleseens. Lake Umbagog, Maine. 1896. Charlie Douglass )from the steamer) killed a Blue Goose Oct.2. with one barrel and a Lesser Snow Goose with the other, both birds which I have never seen living and both, of course, new to my Umbagog, list. They were on the outermost grassy island at the mouth of the Cambridge River. When first seen the "blue" bird was lying down, the other standing erect. When the steamer was within about 30 yards Frank Douglass, the en- gineer, fired at them but missed. They rose, flew about 80 yards and alighted in the river. Charles Douglass then ran the boat to within about 40 yards of them and killed them both. I learned of all this on my return(from Upton), and at once went to Douglass's house in the pouring rain and bought the birds of him.
