Tringoides macularius. Maino (Lake Umbagog). 1879. June 17. Set C-4. Slightly incubated. Nest on small rocky island near Lake House; sunk in the ground and prettily concealed under some drift wood.

Fresh--on ground on small island within six feet of the spot where a set was taken last year; nest in deep hollow evidently scratched by the bird ; female sitting; she permitted me to approach within a few feet, then scuttled off spreading her wings, tumb- ling about on the ground, and even uttering a sort of harsh scream that I never heard before. June 9. Set E-4. Fresh--on ground under drooping branch of alder; female rose before we landed and flew off in si- lence. Same island where set D-4 was taken, and doubt- less the second laying by the same bird. Sept.7.
