74. CALIDRIS A REN ARIA, (Z.) ///. 

 (SANDERLING.) 



First taken August n, afterwards became rather common. 



75. LIMOSA HUDSONICA, (Lath.} Sw. 



(HUDSONIAX GODWIT.) 



First obtained August 8. An abundant species during 

 the migrations, and exceedingly tame. Upon several occa- 

 sions I have " walked them up " and shot them. 



Audubon states that he was informed that Limosa hudsoni- 

 ca was to be found breeding in the Magdalen Islands, and 

 that his friend Thomas McCulloch confirmed that statement, 

 and also informed him that these birds breed at times on 

 Prince Edward's Island. At the present time none remain 

 to breed so far south. 



76. TOTANUS MELANOLEUCUS, Gm. 

 (GREATER TELL-TALE.) 



Arrives about July 15, and afterwards becomes very 

 abundant.
