" The preceding seven species, and in fact nearly all the small wading birds 

 that we had been accustomed to seeing on the coast of New Jersey, were very 

 abundant on the sea coast at Carthagena, in November, 1857. The most abun- 

 dant were perhaps the two small Sandpipers (E. pusilla and T. Wilsonii), and 

 the yellow Shanks (G.flavipes). Though easily shot, they were not so easily 

 obtained, on account of the marshy or boggy character of many localities which 

 they particularly frequented. All of these species were in flocks, as seen on 

 the coast of the United States in Autumn." (Mr. W. S. Wood, Jr.)
