It occurs on the Pacific coast as well as on the Atlantic side, and is common and breeds among the islands of Behring Sea. It is rather a more southern species than the preceding, and wanders in winter as far south as the Middle States, and to Mexico on the Pacific side. It occurs in the interior, being not uncommon on some of our large inland lakes. It swims easily arid gracefully and is very much at home in the water on account of its webbed feet. The male of this species, as in the other Pha- laropes, is smaller than the female and not so highly colored ; he also takes upon himself many domestic duties usually assumed by the female ; he sets on the nest, contrary to the usual custom, and devotes himself to the young chicks.
