41. [255] Tt jtanus flnripes (Gmel.). Yellow-legs. 



One record. Concerning the year 1895, which was remarkable for 

 early arrivals of the Yellow-legs, Butler says: "The last report from 

 southern Indiana that spring was from Bloomington, where it was noted 

 April 2G" (Juday). 



42. [256] irrlniJroma'i ■■iontarias (Wils.)- Solivary Sandpiper. 



Common migrant and perhaps rare summer resident. April 23 to 

 June 9. October 6. This bird has been reported as early as March 

 20, but these dates should probably be referred to some other species, 

 perhaps Wilson's Snipe. One observer records it as a summer resident 

 while another gives a queried affirmation. The date, June»^9, is an ex- 

 tremely late one if the Solitary Sandpiper is to be considered purely 

 as a migrant. But it probably indicates summer residence, since in the 

 Alaskan breeding grounds young have been found in the same month
