AUSTRALIAN LIMICOLJE. 985 



A glance at the above synopsis shews that our most 

 resident species are the Sand])lovers, Plover Stilts, and 

 Oyster Catchers. Our Eastern Asiatic migrants are nearly 

 all Sandpipers (Scolopncidce), which is also true of the Palai- 

 arctic migrants ; and the greatest wanderers are two of tlie 

 Sandpipers and a Plover.
