56 Director' s Ainiual Report. 



Fulica alai Peak. Hawaiian Coot. Alae Keokeo. 



Oue specimen from Maui. 



Actodromas maculata (Vieill.). Pectoral Sandpiper. 



Professor Henshaw has already noted the occurrence of this 

 species from the island of Hawaii. The specimen in the Wilder 

 coUecflion was taken at Waikiki, Oahu, January i, 1892, and is 

 unmistakably A. maculata, having only the .shaft of the outer quill 

 white and the culmen longer than the tarsus. The specimen in 

 winter dress measures: Length 9.50, wing 5.25, tail 2.10, tarsus 

 1. 10, culmen 1.15. 



Calidris arenaria (Linn.). Sanderling. Hunakai. 



Specimen from Kahului, Maui. 



Heteractitis incanus (Gmel.). Wandering Tattler. Ulili. 



One specimen from Maui. \ 



Charadrius dominicus fulvus (Gmel.). Pacific Golden 

 Plover. Kolea. 



One specimen, Maui. 



Oxyechus vocifera (Linn.). Killdeer. 



Mr. Wilder has preserved a very good skin of this bird in 

 winter dress which he shot on Maui. This is the first record of 

 the Killdeer being taken in the Islands, although it is liable to be 

 secured any season. If a colony could be established here it would 

 be a valuable addition to our too meager list of shore birds. 



Gallinago delicata (Ord). Wilson's Snipe. 



The specimen before me is the second example of this well 

 known game bird that it has been my privilege to examine within 

 a year. The taking of a specimen on Laysan, the record of one 

 taken on Hawaii, as well as the one noted by me from Oahu, to- 

 gether with the present specimen from Maui, would seem to fix 

 this Snipe firmly in our list of island visitors.
