coverts, aud axillaries vary to the same extent iu all localities, and 

 there is absolutely no diflference iu size. 



52 (5S). Totanus ater (Sander) 129. 



The Dusky Sandpiper is only an occasional visitor to the islands dur- 

 ing the migrations. 



53 (59). Totanus glareola (Lix.) 130. 



A common breeding bird in Bering Island. Dybovrski records it 

 from Copper Island, where, of course, it occurs during the migrations, 

 but during all my rambles over this island I never found it breeding 

 there. 



54 (iJO). Pavoncella pugnax (Lin.) 317. 



The Euff seems to be a comparatively rare bird on the Pacific coast of 

 Asia. Only two specimens are known from Bering Island, where they 

 were obtained during the remarkable spring of 18S3. 



55 (61). Actitis hypoleucos (Lix.) 131. 



Only observed during the migrations, and even then rather rare. 



56(62). Terekia ciiierea (Guld.) 132. 



Only a single specimen from Bering Island during the autumnal mi- 

 gration, 1883. Not recorded by Dybowski from Kamtschatka or the 

 islands, though it probably occurs regularly on the peninsula. 



57 (63). Heteractitis incanus (Gm.) 132. 



Rather common in spring in the islands, aud probably breeds there. 



It is curious that it is the eastern and American species which occurs 

 most commonly in the Commander Islands, the ornis of which is other- 

 wise so pronounced Paljearctic, while the Kamtschatkan species only 

 straggles across the narrow sea occasionally. 



58(64). Heteractitis brevipes (Vieill.) 137. 



Oidy occasional or accidental during the migrations. A single speci- 

 men has been taken on Bering Island.
