It also has been reported as taken in Great Britain, but the record is too doubtful to warrant serious consideration. _Egg dates._--Magdalen Islands: 36 records, June 1 to 27; 18 records, June 3 to 14.

CAPELLA MEDIA (Latham) GREAT SNIPE _Contributed by Francis Charles Robert Jourdain_ HABITS The claim of this species to a place on the American list rests on a specimen obtained from the Hudson's Bay Company in Canada many years ago and now in the collection of the British Museum. Its breeding home is in Northern Europe and Asia, but on migration and during the winter months it has been met with in the British Isles, throughout southern Europe and Africa south to the Cape Province, as well as southern Asia from India westward. Unlike the common snipe, it frequently occurs singly and is by no means confined to marshy spots, but may be met with on rough pastures, moorlands, and fields. To this characteristic it owes its name of "solitary snipe."
