FAUNA OF THE ALEUTIAN ISLANDS AND ALASKA PENINSULA 133 



specimen, May 23, 1911, at Nushagak. Gianini (1917) found 

 them to be common about Stepovak Bay on the south side of 

 Alaska Peninsula, where they appeared to be nesting, in May 

 and June 1916. Jaques (1930) recorded them on the north side 

 near Port Moller. We saw three at False Piss, Unimak Island, 

 August 23, 1936. In 1925, I observed the species at False Pass 

 and at St. Catherine Cove, May 16 and 17. In the latter part of 

 May 1925 they were found again in a valley below Aghileen 

 Pinnacles, near Izembek Bay, and at Applegate Cove. At the 

 time, it was believed that they were nesting. Wetmore found a 

 few of these birds at Thin Point, near Cold Bay, in August 1911, 

 and he obtained two immature specimens at the east base of 

 Frosty Peak on August 6. Beals and Longworth, reporting on 

 P'alse Pass, in 1941, noted one on a gravel bar of an old stream 

 bed May 9, and remarked that "2 are seen on this gravel bar 

 every time we pass. They were not observed after the 25th of 

 May." In 1940, Gabrielson also noted three of these birds at 

 Morzhovoi Bay. Donald Stevenson obtained a specimen on Uni- 

 mak Island, May 25, 1922, and made this notation: "Arrived 

 about May 1st. Rather common along glacial stream beds. 

 Breeds." 



McGregor (1906) obtained a male and a female in English 

 Bay, Unalaska Island, May 27, 1901, and he obtained two imma- 

 ture birds on Unimak Island, August 14. 



In view of all these observations, the evidence is rather con- 

 clusive that the semipalmated plover nests as far west as Unalaska 

 Island.

Smix (Jochelson) (Probably refers to this bird; no dialect given) 



Osgood (1904) says of this species at the base of Alaska Penin- 

 sula: 



A few small flocks were seen on the tide marshes and along the mud flats 

 about Nushagak September 12 to 26. Several were seen at Igagik and 

 others occasionally along the Ugaguk River, as far up as the mouth of 

 Becharof Lake. Specimens were taken at Nushagak by McKay in June, 1881. 



Hine (1919) observed these birds at Kashvik Bay in 1919, and 

 he collected a specimen on August 24. 



Friedmann (1935) records a number of specimens and obser- 

 vations of this bird at Kodiak, where it is no doubt a regular 

 migrant.
