Eggs. 3-4; grayish olive or hair brown, spotted with darker brown; 2.20 X 140- The Hudsonian, or American Black-tailed Godwit; though abundant in the Barren Grounds near the Arctic Sea, where it breeds, is an uncommon visitor in the Eastern and Middle States of the Union, although, from aU analogy and the impos- sibility of the species subsisting through the winters of its natal regions, we are certain that the whole retire into mild climates to pass the winter. They probably, like some other birds of the same countries, retire southward by an inland route, or even pass the autumn on the shores of the northwestern coast of the continent. Be this as it may, the present bird is among our greatest rarities, as I have seldom seen more than two or three pair in the course of the season; these are found on the neighboring coast of the Bay, and called by the market people of Boston, Goose Birds. I obtained a solitary pair of these stragglers about the 8th of September; they were very fat and well flavored, scarcely distinguishable in this respect from the Curlew, and appeared to have been feeding on some Uhia or other vegetable substance. Several pair of young and old birds were brought to market this year (1833), from the 6th to the 30th of the same month. An individual now in the Philadelphia Museum was shot also near the coast of Cape May, in New Jersey. They sometimes associate with the Plovers, and descending to the marshes and the strand, feed upon minute shell-fish, shri
