1917 BIRDS OF THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ISLANDS 47 
A. Mearns (7) shot some of these birds at San Clemente from August 22 to 29, 
1894, and C. B. Linton (2) states that at the same place he met with it together 
with the last species during December, 1908.

Common winter visitant to suitable parts of the islands. C. B. Linton (5) 
has found this species on San Nicolas as late as May 30. He (4) says that it is 
common during the winter at San Clemente, where Breninger (2) also found 
flocks in February, 1903. Linton (3) has noted it on Santa Cruz Island during 
November and December, 1907. 
64. Totanus melanoleucus (Gmelin)

x1, 1909, p. 137. 
C. P. Streator (7) reports having seen one of these birds on Santa Cruz Isl- 
and in 1886. No specimen was obtained, and it is with some hesitation that I in- 
elude the species. <As it is a common migrant on the mainland, however, and not 
hard to identify in life, I have ventured to do so. 
65. Helodromas solitarius cinnamomeus (Brewster) 
WESTERN SOLITARY SANDPIPER 
Totanus solitarius (1) Streator, Orn. & Ool., x11, 1888, p. 53.

(8) Willett, Pac. Coast Avif., 7, 1912, p. 38. 
Rather rare migrant. C. P. Streator (1) met with this bird on both San 
Nicolas and Santa Cruz islands in 1886, and E. A. Mearns (2) reported it from 
San Clemente the latter part of August, 1894. 
66. Catoptrophorus semipalmatus inornatus (Brewster) 
WESTERN WILLET 
Symphemia semipalmata inornata (1) Streator, Orn. & Ool., x1, 1888, p. 54.

Catoptrephorus semipalmatus inornatus (3) Willett, Pac. Coast Avif., 7, 1912, p. 38. 
Regular migrant to suitable parts of the islands. C. P. Streator (1) re- 
ported it from San Nicolas in the fall of 1886, and C. B. Linton (MS) met with 
it upon the same island during January, 1911. G. Willett (2) records a flock of 
ten or twelve birds seen at the west end of San Miguel, June 17, 1910.
