37. [239] ActodromcDS macnhita (Vieill.). Pectoral Sandpiper.

 to have been quite common during the spring of 1885. The bulk of 

 the species departed May 3. 



MIGRATION RECORD. 



38 [242] ActodromaainfaviiliatViQill;). Least Sandpiper. 

 Rare migrant (B. W. E. '87). 



39. [246] Ereunctes pitni'llns (Linn. ). Seniipalmated Sandpiper. 



Rare migrant (B. W. E. '87). Twelve were seen April 26, 1903 (H. H. 

 Lane), and one May 3, 1903. 



40. [254] Totanu* melanoleucus (Gmel.). Greater Yellow-legs. 



Not observed until the spring of 1903 when it was seen in small 

 numbers on April '20, 29 and 30 and May 1 (W. L. M.). A bird con- 

 spicuous by restless actions accompanied by continual and piercing cries. 



41. [255] Totanuxll(irii>e* (Gmel. ). Yellow-legs. 



One record. Concerning the year 1895, which was remarkable for 

 early arrivals of the Yellow-legs, Butler says: "The last report from 

 southern Indiana that spring was from Bloomington, where it was noted 

 April 2G" (Juday). 



42. [256] Helodromm soliturms (Wils. ). Solitary Sandpiper. 



Common migrant and perhaps rare summer resident. April 23 to 

 June 9. October 6. This bird has been reported as early as March 

 20, but these dates should probably be referred to some other species, 

 perhaps Wilson's Snipe. One observer records it as a summer resident 

 while another gives a queried affirmation. The date, June 9, is an ex- 

 tremely late one if the Solitary Sandpiper is to be considered purely 

 as a migrant. But it probably indicates summer residence, since in the 

 Alaskan breeding grounds young have been found in the same month
