TURNSTONE

My only note on the turiistone reads: Common at Dead 

 Island and alonj^ the coast in small Hocks. They are rather 

 rare apparently, when classed with the other sandpipers and 

 Avaders which frequent the coast. 



AMERICAN SNIPE 



GalliiKigo tri/soiti. — (TE.^L^[.) Bv. 



This is another species that must he given on other au- 

 thority than my own, and that from a single S})ecimen only. 

 Yet it is undoubtedly not rare at times all along the coast. 



RED BREASTED SNIPE 



31<ici-()r/i(iinjj/iii.s (/fi.'<('us. — ((lAL) Lkach. 



Thls bird also undoubtedly occurs, but must be given on 

 the same authority as the last. One or two specimens only are 

 really on record fi-om the coast. 



LEAST SANDPIPER 



Arfixli'oinax ininniiHd. — [\ .) Corns. 



The least sandpiper is simply a diminutive sj^ecimen of the 

 " grass snipe," which it resembles in nearly every j)articular, 

 though fre(juenting more {)articularly the mud flats and the 

 water's cflge rather than the sandy beach and grassy slopes. 

 The greater pta't of those that I saw did not appear to associ- 

 ate with any other species, but were found in small flocks 

 feeding by themselves, and usually at a time of day when few 

 of the other sj)ecies were about, say from 10 a. m. to 4 p. m. 

 They are common all along the coast in Spring and Fall, and 

 breed durinii' the Summer. 1 saw none of the immense flocks
