698 Mr. T. Carter on some [Ibis, 



Actitis hypoleucus. 



Common Sandpipers were more plentiful about Carnarvon 

 in September 1913 than eA^er previously observed by me 

 there. Two were seen on the Vasse River — 12 February, 

 1916, and several at Carnarvon on 1 June, 1919, and also 

 in September of that year. This bird continually " bobs ^' 

 its head up and down. 



Terekia cinerea. 



Several Terek Sandpipers were seen at Carnarvon on 

 21 September, 1911, and specimens were obtained. 



Glottis nebular ius. 



Two Greenshanks were seen at Carnarvon on 21 Septem- 

 ber, 1911, and one on 29 September at a freshwater pool in 

 the river. Odd birds were also seen about Carnarvon in 

 September 1913. I got very badly bogged there in trying 

 to retrieve one shot in mangroves. 



Rhyacophilus glareola. 



Three Wood-Sandpipers were at the artesian-bore swamp, 

 east of Maud's Landing, on 4 September, 1911. They were 

 very wary, but one was shot for identification. This is the 

 only occasion on which I have seen this species during mv 

 thirty odd years' residence in Australia. The scapularies of 

 the above specimens are boldly '"toothed" on the outer 

 edges, and it looks as if the white marks, which presumably 

 had been there to correspond with those present on the 

 inner edges, have been either worn away or bitten out by 

 the bird. 



Crocethia leucophsea tridactyla. 



Several Eastern Sanderlings were observed about Point 

 Cloates at the end of June 1910, and one was seen at 

 Cape Mentelle on 2 March, 1916. 



Pisobia ruficoUis. 



Large flocks of Red-necked Stints were on the Carnarvon 

 beaches the last week of September 1913. Many of them 

 still retained some of the rufous breeding-plumage.
