Semipalmated Sandpiper--Ereunetes pusillus (Linnaeus ).

At Nukko Creek, July 7, a flock of eight adults in worn breed-
ing plumage was feeding on a muddy beach. One of these was collected.
Records of young on migration are: Bulkley Lake, July 29, 1; July 30,
8; July 31, 8; Francois Lake, August 7, 3; Shafer Lake, August le, >
All these birds were examined very closely through binoculars in order
to determine if any were the relatively long-billed western sandpiper
but none was so identified

Wilson Phalarope--Steganopus tricolor Vieillot.

At Dale Lake, June 20, a male circled about a small area of short
grass making the familiar soft alarm note that indicates the presence
of young. After some search two downy young, a day or so old, were
caught and photographed. At Nukko Creek, July 7, three adult females,
probably transients, that walked about on the lily pads, were under
close observation for ten minutes or longer. These records mark a
considerable northward extension of the range of this species in
British Columbia.

Northern Phalarope--Lobipes lobatus (Linnaeus).

A flock of seven on Puntchesakut Lake, September 3, is the only
records.

Herring Gull--Larus argentatus Pontoppidan,

An observer at Puntchesakut Lake told me that gulls arrived there
about the time the ice was out of the lake in late April. Probably
these were herring gulls This species was seen there almost daily
during May and up to the time I left the region on June 5. All except
two of these were adults. None nested there although a male and female
that loafed on a stony point several days in succession were evidently
paired. Eight was the largest number counted in one day and mostly
these associated with a flock of diving ducks and grebe on the centre
of the lake. One or two made frequent excursions along the shore and
several attended the fishing operations of American mergansers on at
least two of the occasions when these ducks visited the lake.
