On the 22nd of May, J 911 I shot on the seashore at 

 Chinwatigtao two Sandpipers in breeding-dress which I noted 

 down as Sharp-tailed Stints and put away without comparing 

 tliein. On examining one ot" these birds lately, I found it 

 was a Sanderling. I unfortunately recorded the i)arty of 

 Sandpipers out of which I shot these examples in my paper 

 on Chinwangtao migrants (Ibis^ 1914, p. 581) as Tringa 

 acuminata. This species, although there is no doubt that 

 it passes there, must for the present be eliminated from 

 my list. 



A second party of Sanderlings was met with by me at the 

 same place on the 18th of May, 1913, out of which I shot 

 three examples which formed part of the collection made 

 that year for the Migration Committee of the B. 0. C. 



Mr. Sowerby obtained an example in summer plumage at 

 Peitaiho on the 17th of July, 1916.

Mr. A. de C. Sowerby obtained the Eastern Little Stint 

 in summer plumage at Peitaiho on the 16th of July,

 Newchwang in September 1889. 



236. Tringa damacensis Horsf. 

 Tringa 7'uficollis D. & 0. p. 472 (part). 



The Long-toed Stint was obtained by Mr. Sowerby in 

 worn summer plumage at Peitaiho on the 14tli of July, 1916. 

 I shot this bird at the marshes near Chinwangtao on the 

 22nd of August and 3rd of September following.
