Numenius longirostris Wits. 
LonNG-BILLED CURLEW. 
Numenius longirostris Betpine, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., V. 1888, 545 (Cape Region). 
Bryant, Proc. Calif. Acad. Sci., 2d ser., II. 1889, 273 (Cape Region). 
Mr. Frazar found the Long-billed Curlew at La Paz, where it was ‘‘ common 
in February,” and at San José del Cabo, whence he sent me several specimens 
collected late in August and early in September. Mr. Belding mentions it 
without comment in his list of birds seen in the winter and spring of 1881-82. 
Mr. Bryant considers it rare about Magdalena Bay, but says that further north- 
ward, according to Mr. Anthony, it is ‘‘ very abundant along the coast in 
winter, and fairly swarming at San Quintin Bay.’’ 
The range of this species on the Pacific coast extends from Vancouver’s 
Island to Guatemala. It breeds in the interior, not anywhere to the southward 
of California, so far as is known. 
Numenius hudsonicus Lara. 
HUDSONIAN CURLEW. 
Numenius hudsonicus Beip1nG, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., V. 1883, 545 (Cape Region), 
547 (San José del Cabo). Bryant, Proc. Calif. Acad. Sci., 2d ser., II. 1889, 
274 (Cape Region). 
This Curlew, according to Mr. Frazar, is more numerous in Lower California 
than the Long-billed species. Like the latter, it occurred in February and 
March at La Paz, and in the autumn at San José del Cabo, where the first 
(three birds) were seen on August 29, and the greatest number about Septem- 
ber 15, after which they became scarce. Mr. Bryant reports them common 
at Magdalena Bay, and they have been observed at San Quintin Bay by Mr. 
Anthony. 
The Hudsonian Curlew breeds only in the extreme northern portions of the 
American continent, but it migrates as far southward as Patagonia, and has 
been seen on the Galapagos. According to Mr. Grinnell, it is of common 
occurrence in Los Angeles county, California, during the migrations in spring 
and autumn.
