The specimens collected by me have been compared with a fair series 

 of birds from China, India, and Europe, and found to be identical. 



No. 92803. -Iris dark brown. Bill blackish olive ; below at base, lishter brownish olive. Feet, light 

 grayish olive. Very lean. 

 Xo. 89079.-Feet greeni.sh to yellowish olive ; lower part of tarsus and toes with a tinge of bronzy 



brown. 

 No. 89080.— Feet greenish yellow. 



This species is a rather common one on Bering Island, breeding on 

 the great swamps of the northern part and in the broader and deeper 

 valleys, for instance in Kamennij, Staraja Gavanskij Pad, «&c. They 

 arrive after the middle of May, and their musical performances or 

 "playing" was often watched by me during the latter part of the 



month. 



This sandpiper was not observed on Copper Island, where in fact 

 few or no suitable places for it are found.
