l6o BIRDS OF THE BAHAMA ISLANDS. 



The White-rumpled Sandpiper is a regular winter visitant^ 

 although not very common. On May 27 I killed two birds of this 

 species in a salt pond near Mathevvstown, Inagua. None were 

 observed later.

The Sanderling is probably a rather scarce winter visitant. I 

 met with it only once, on January 9, near Hawk Nest, Andros 

 Island, where I procured three specimens. It frequents the beaches 

 and salt marshes.
