474 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACADEMY OF [1895. 



on South Harpeth river in the northern corner of Williamson 

 County, They were very tame, heing gorged with the small mol- 

 lusks (Strepomatidte) abounding on the half-exposed rocks, and I 

 feel assured of the correctness of my identification. This is probably 

 the species seen in company with Wilson's plover in Haywood 

 County by Mr. Miles. 



Genus TOTANUS Bechstein. 



51. Totanus melanoleucus (Grnel.1. Greater Yellow Legs. 



One was seen in company with the sandpipers above noted. 

 Another was heard at Samburg and stuffed specimens noted at 

 Memphis. 



52. Totanus solitarius ( Wils. ). Solitary Sandpiper. 



Observed at Samburg, Memphis, Raleigh, Nashville and Belle- 

 vue. Noted in spring in Roane County by Fox and in the Chilhowee 

 Mountains in late August by Langdon. 



The late date at which I observed a pair near Bellevue (May 



20th.) would indicate that they do not go far out of the State to 



breed. 



Genus BARTRAMIA Lesson. 



53. Bartramia longicauda (Bechst. ). Bartraraian Sandpiper. 



I did not observe this species, though I fancied I heard it passing 

 over in West Tennessee. It is doubtful that it breeds at all in the 

 exact localities I explored, but owing to its peculiarly local prefer- 

 ences, will no doubt be found to summer in'some of the country en 

 route. Dr. Merriam observed five plover flying over Athens, 

 McMinn Co., " which seemed to be this species." 



Genus ACTITIS Boie. 



54. Actitis macularia (L. ). Spotted Sandpiper. 



Numerous all over the State below 3,000 feet elevation, but rarer 

 among the mountains. 



Genus NUMENIUS Brisson. 

 56. ?Numenius longirostris Wils. Long-billed Curlew. 

 Stuffed specimens seen at Memphis. 



Family CHARADRIIDJE. 



Genus JEGIALITIS Boie. 

 56. JEgialitis vooifera (L. ). Kildeer. 



Seen at Nashville, Bellevue, Chattanooga, and Johnson City. 

 Roane Co., Fox. Not noted in West Tennessee; Miles.
