82. Macrorhamphus griseus. Dowitcher. — Regular migrant, not 

 common, May 16 to 31; one taken August 1, 1894, is in full plumage; 

 one taken August 24, 1891, and one September 15. 1889, are young birds. 



83. Macrorhamphus scolopaceus. Long-billed Dowitcher. — Rare 

 migrant; there is a specimen in Mr. Ernest Seton's collection, taken Sep- 

 tember 3, 1888; one without date in my collection, and a full plumaged 

 bird from Hamilton (39 miles west), August 12, 1891. 



S4. Micropalama himantopus. Stilt Sandpiper. — Regular fall 

 migrant, not common; adults in full plumage, July 18 to 28, and young 

 August 9 to September 26; there are records of birds from June 25 to 30 

 but I have not seen these specimens. 



85. Tringa canutus. Knot.— Regular migrant, rather common in 

 spring, May 25 to June 6; I can find no adult birds on the return flight; 

 the young come from August 23 (earliest August 9, 1896) to the first week 

 of September (Sept. 5, 1886, Hamilton, Ont.) and are not common. 



86. Arquatella maritima. Purple Sandpiper. — Regular fall migrant, 

 rare, October 27 to December 7; two birds in my collection are apparently 

 adults. This species is probably overlooked owing to the lateness of its 

 migration. 



87. Actodromas maculata. Pectoral Sandpiper. — Common fall 

 migrant. Mr. Nash gives July 23, 1891, as the earliest record; usually 

 from August 13 to 31; and September 26 to October 27, 1891. 



88. Actodromas fuscicollis. White-humped Sandpiper. — Regular 

 migrant, not common. May 26 to June 14 (latest June 21, 1898); returning 

 August 23 to September 24; and October 26 to November 2. 



89. Actodromas bairdii. Baird's Sandpiper. — Regular fall migrant, 

 not uncommon; all I have examined are young birds, August 12 to Sep- 

 tember 24. Mr. Nash gives July 28 to October 10. 



90. Actodromas minutilla. Least Sandpiper. — Abundant migrant, 

 May 4 to 20; the adults return during the first half of July (July 4, 1891) 

 and the young from August 10 to 24. Mr. Nash has records from June 28 

 to July 19, and to the middle of September. 



91. Pelidna alpina sakhalina. Red-backed Sandpiper. — Abundant 

 migrant May 12 to June 2 (latest June 13); returning October 9 to 22, 

 and through the first half of November. Adults are rare in fall. 



92. Erolia ferruginea. Curlew Sandpiper. — A single specimen, 

 taken by Mr. Wm. Loan about 1886' ; this bird was afterwards destroyed 

 except the head which is now in my collection, and which belonged to a 

 nearly adult bird. 



93. Ereunetes pusillus. Semipalmated Sandpiper. — Regular mi- 

 grant, common May 24 to June 2, returning in July (July 21, 1891); the 

 young August 24 to September 10. Mr. Nash gives for 1891, from May 

 24 to June 13; July 21 to August 10, when first young were observed.
