PISOBIA SUBMINUTA (Middendorff) 



LONG-TOED STINT 



HABITS 



I prefer the above name, as adopted by Robert Ridgway (1919), 

 to the Check List name, damacensis, as it seems to have more cer- 

 tain application. The status of the species and its nomenclature is 

 fully discussed by Dr. Leonhard Stejneger (1885). 



This is one of several Asiatic species that have gained places on 

 our list as stragglers to Alaska. A specimen of the long-toed stint 

 was taken by Dr. Charles H. Townsend on Otter Island, in the
