68 MEMOIRS OF THE NUTTALL ORNITHOLOGICAL CLUB 



late August or early September and re-appeared in April or May. I never 

 have seen a single individual. 



114. Tryngites subruficoUis (Vieillot). 

 Buff-breasted Sandpiper. 



A single record by Gundlach of one killed near Cardenas in April. 



115. Actitis macularia (Linne). 

 Spotted Sandpiper. 



A few are seen each year during migration; it does not arrive in flocks. 

 Mr. Peters collected a single female at Preston, near Nipe Bay, March 2, 

 1915. 



116. Numenius hudsonicus Latham. 

 HuDsoNiAN Curlew. 



I have, on various occasions, seen a few Curlews about the mangrove 

 shores. They wade the muddy shallows and, should wind or tide raise 

 the water, they perch in the mangrove trees — most un-curlew-like. 

 Gundlach's records are about like these of mine. He once saw a few in 

 October in a salt-marsh at the mouth of the Rio Cauto, and some in June 

 and July about Jucaro, but he adds that he had seen them among the 

 cays of the coast at various times. 



117. Squatarola squatarola cynosurae Thayer and Bangs. 

 Beetle-head; Pluvial. 



An occasional pair or trio may be seen during any of the winter months 

 on the exposed, eroded limestone shores. No large flocks are seen.
