106. Bartramia longicauda (Bechst.). Bartramian Sandpiper. A 

 common summer resident.

 gratory; rare.

 mer resident; abundant migrant. 



109. Mumenius americanus (Brechst.). Long-billed Curlew. A rare

110. Numenius borealis (Porst.). Eskimo Curlew. Migratory; now 

 nearly extinct. 



XIX. Family CHARADRIID^. Plovers. 



111. Squatarola squatarola (Linn.). Black-bellied Plover. Migra- 

 tory; occasional. This species was omitted from Doctor Snow's fifth edi- 

 tion of his Birds of Kansas Catalogue, as the actual capture of the bird 

 had not been satisfactorily verified. In his Notes of 1903 on the Birds of 

 Kansas, published in volume XIX, Kansas Academy of Science, he re- 

 ported the capture of a bird of this species by Ed. Goldberg, near Wichita, 

 in 1896. Doctor Matthews sent the mounted bird to Doctor Snow, May 

 22, 1903. L. A. Bennett, October 29, 1886, collected two specimens of this 

 species near Lawrence. They are mounted and in the University Museum. 

 One more bird of this species was collected in Douglas county, October 

 29, 1887. The latest records of this bird are found in G. C. Rinker's data 

 of 1912. Two males and a female were collected by him September 8, 

 1912. Three others in the same flock were not saved. An immature 

 female was taken by him October 13, 1912, at the same place, Hamil- 

 ton, Kan. 



112. Charadrius dominicus dominicus (Mull.). Golden Plover. Mi- 

 gratory; common. 



113. Oxyechus vociferus (Linn.). Killdeer. An abundant summer 

 resident. 



114. jEgialitis semipalmata (Bonap.). Semipalmated Plover. Migra- 

 tory; not common. 



114%. jSDgialitis meloda (Ord). Piping Plover. Rare. One col- 

 lected May 27, 1909, by L. L. Dyche, Douglas county, Kansas. In Uni- 

 versity Museum. 



115. jEgialitis nivosa (Cass). Snowy Plover. A rare summer resi- 

 dent in southwestern Kansas. 



116. Podasocys montanus (Towns.). Mountain Plover. A common 

 summer resident in the westel'n part of the state. 



XX. Family APHRIZID^. Turnstone. 



117. Arenaria interpres morinella (Linn.). Turnstone. Accidental 

 Doctor Snow did not give the subspecies name, but it was doubtless mori- 

 nella, as this is the only subspecies that ranges over the whole of North 

 America. This species is in the University Museum. A male morinella 

 was collected October 1, 1911, in Greenwood county, by G. C. Rinker. It 

 was in company with two Wilson's Phalaropes. This one was loaned to 

 the University for comparison.
