HtJDSONIAN GODWIT.

 the record of the observation of a bird "probably of this species" ( Yisher, 1910b,

12. Totanus flavipes (Gmelin). 



Yellowlegs. 

 Status — One record, of its occurrence near Tucson, in September (Visher,

Golden Plover.

 ( Yisher, 1910b, p. 281).

 in southern Arizona lacks confirmation ; Fort Yuma is on the California side of 

 the river. There are doubtful records of its occurrence in the Santa Catalina

 (Coues, 1866a, p. 49), and the Verde River (Coues, 1881b, p. 248) lack con- 

 firmation.
