SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPER (T’ringa semipalmata). From 
the Ist of August, to the beginning of November, small 
flocks of these birds are always to be found at Mangrove 
Bay, Somerset, and most of the other sandy bays along the 
coast; also at the Flatts, and Chief Justice Butterfield’s 
pond. 
THE STINT OF AMERICA (7. pusilla). Arrive about the 
same time as the former species. On July 31st, 1847, I 
shot several at Mangrove Bay; and on the 4th of August, 
1848, they were in hundreds, at Chief Justice Butter- 
field’s pond, along with the ring plover, semipalmated sand- 
pipers, and tattlers. 
SCHINZ’S SANDPIPER (7. Schinz). I first noticed this 
bird, October 5th, 1847, on Long-bird Island, and killed - 
several at Mangrove Bay, Somerset, afterwards; they were 
generally in company with the pectoral sandpipers. 
PECTORAL SANDPIPER (7. pectoralis). More numerous 
than the last-named species. It had not been noticed pre- 
vious to September 20th, 1847, on which day I killed two 
at Mangrove Bay, Somerset. They were common after this 
at all the swampy ponds and bays, particulary at Mangrove 
and Shelly Bays, the Flatts, and Chief Justice Butterfield’s 
pond. On the 9th of October, 1849, they appeared suddealy 
in thousands, particularly at St. George’s, after a heavy gale 
of wind; the parade ground, at that place was swarming 
with them, and I think Colonel Drummond killed some 
thirty or forty couple before breakfast ; but, with the excep- 
tion of a few stragglers, they were all gone by the follow- 
ing day. 
LONG-LEGGED SANDPIPER (7. himantopus). Only one 
specimen has been observed, which was shot by myself, at
