110. Peltdna Americana. Ked-backed Sandpiper. Not common. 



111. Eveunetes pnsillns. Semipalmated Sandpiper. Very common 

 during August. One day while in pursuit of plover, I killed, at a 

 single discharge, twenty-six from a passing flock.

 August. 



115. Symphemia semipalmata. Willet. Rather common in August. 

 The old meu tell about a bird they call a " Tinkasheer" that used to 

 breed in abundance on Menan fifty years ago, and from their descrip- 

 tion it seems to be identical with the species in question.

118. Ehyacophilus solitarius. Solitary Sandpiper. Common.

 Very common. Thousands may be seen all summer on the "Rip- 

 plings" about eight miles from Menan, where they congregate to 

 feed on the shrimp and animalcula) that are drifting in the eddies 

 made by the advancing and receding tide. They never come on 

 shore unless driven by storms, and are so tame, especially in foggy 

 weather, that 1 have almost run them down with a sail boat. P. Wil- 

 sonii and fulicurius probably occur.
