and on till middle of September. I can find nothing approaching E. 

 occidentahs. 



94. Calidris arenaria. Sanderling. — Regular migrant, common 

 May 21 to June 2; returning August 24 to 28; the young September 4 

 to 12. 



95. Limosa fedoa. Marbled Godwit. — Rare migrant in spring, 

 probably accidental; a female taken May 30, 1895, is in the Provincial 

 Museum, and one taken June 7, 1890, is in my collection. 



96. Limosa haemastica. Hudsonian Godwit. — Rare fall migrant; 

 a young bird taken August 20, 1898, is the earliest record; two specimens 

 taken September 25, 1894, are in winter plumage; two taken October 20, 

 1890, are adults in changing plumage. Mr. Win. Loan has a specimen in 

 full plumage, and Mr. J. Hughes Samuel saw one June 13, 1895. 



97. Totanus melanoleucus. Greater Yellow-legs. — Regular mi- 

 grant; common April 10 to May 13; earliest March 26, 1901, latest spring 

 record June 9, 1894. Mr. Nash says "returning, first July 28 (1891), few 

 seen till October 27, on which day I saw last; last year I noted a flock 

 November 19." 



9S. Totanus flavipes. Yellow-legs. — Regular migrant, common 

 April 30 to May 17, the young August 7 to September 15. Mr. Nash says, 

 "seldom in flocks; saw none this spring (1901); on return first appeared 

 July 18 (adult female), but few were seen from that time until August 22, 

 when they became common, and remained until October 6." Latest 

 record, October 18, 1890. 



99. Helodromas solitarius. Solitary Sandpiper. — Regular mi- 

 grant, local and not very common; I have only two spring records, March 

 16, 1902, and May 18, 1893; returning, adults July 10 to August 10, young 

 August 13 to September 1. Mr. Nash gives September 16, 1891, as latest 

 record. 



100. Symphemia semipalmata inornata. Western Willet. — Rare 

 migrant. I can find only five specimens in local collections; the only 

 one with a date is a female in full plumage taken July 20, 1898, in the 

 Provincial Museum; an adult in winter plumage is in my collection. A 

 careful comparison of the local specimens proves them to belong to the 

 western form. 



101. Pavoncella pugnax. Ruff. — A male in full plumage but with 

 the face feathered, was taken on Toronto Island in 1882, and is now in the 

 museum of the Geological Survey at Ottawa. In ' Catalogue of Canadian 

 Birds,' Macoun, p. 177, the date is given as 1875, but this is incorrect, and 

 the female there recorded is a specimen of the Bartramian Sandpiper. 



102. Bartramia longicauda. Bartramian Sandpiper. — Said to 

 have been an abundant migrant; now rare. In 1893 birds were taken 

 from May 6 to June 7, and were said to have bred a few miles west of the 



i Auk, II, 18S5. 336.
