had migrated, and only scattering stragglers remained. One small flock 

 of 8 or 10 hornotines was seen nervously flitting from point to point along 

 the gravelly beaches of Lake Clark July 25. Some days later a few belated 

 individuals were found along the lower part of the Chulitna River. Prac- 

 ticaHy all were gone before August 10. 



We found none of these birds farther west. 



Tringa glareola: Wood Sandpiper 



There is a single record of this bird for Sanak Island — a speci- 

 men taken by Chase Littlejohn on May 27, 1894 (Littlejohn, 

 1904). The bird was found among some Aleutian sandpipers, 

 and another, thought to be of this same species, was seen. 



Stejneger (1885) reported it rather common and breeding in 

 the Commander Islands. 



Heteroscelus incanum: Wandering Tattler 



Russian, Commander Islands: Tschornij Kulik (Stejneger) 



A wandering tattler was seen on Kodiak Island, May 12, 1936, 

 and 6 or 7 were seen on the beach at Karluk, Kodiak Island, 

 September 1. Hine (1919) collected two specimens at Katmai 

 Bay in 1919. Gabrielson noted a wandering tattler near Iliamna 

 Lake on July 24 and 26, 1940, and he noted the species at Cold 

 Bay, King Cove (with specimens), and Kodiak, as well as at 

 Dutch Harbor and Amchitka. We obtained a specimen on Nagai 

 Island, Shumagin group, May 16, 1936, and we saw one at False 

 Pass, August 23. Scheffer saw one on Sanak Island, August 28, 

 1937. Nelson (1887) had seen one on Sanak Island, May 15, 



1877. 



The wandering tattler has frequently been reported in the east- 

 ern Aleutians. Bishop (1900) obtained 2 at Unalaska, October 5, 

 1899; McGregor (1906) recorded 2 specimens from English 

 Bay, Unalaska Island, June 2, 1901; Laing (1925) saw 4 at 

 Unalaska, where Turner also recorded 1; and Swarth (1934) 

 reports 6 at Akutan, which includes 3 specimens taken. 



On July 16, 1911, Wetmore obtained a breeding female at King 

 Cove, Alaska Peninsula, and said he judged that she had young 

 in the vicinity. He found the birds to be common there in August. 



In 1925, I observed wandering tattlers at False Pass and 

 Izembek Bay. On May 21, there was a pair on the beach, calling 

 and perching on various boulders. On July 19 and 23, there was 

 a pair and a single bird on a small gravelly stream flowing out of 

 the marsh at Moffet Cove. August 8 and 9, there were several 

 on the gravelly stream at False Pass, and, the next day, five
