Vor. III] BECK—CALIFORNIA WATER BIRDS A 
80. Ereunetes pusillus. SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPER.—Of this 
common California species, I have obtained but one specimen 
in this vicinity. “FE. mauri’” is included under E. pusillus. 
81. Calidris leucophza. SANDERLING.—They occur as mi- 
grants on the beaches of the vicinity. 
82. Limosa fedoa. Marsiep Gopwit.—This species has 
been noted only during the exodus-migration. 
83. Catoptrophorus semipalmatus. Wutter.—The Willet 
has been positively identified only during July and August. 
84. Heteractitis incanus. WANDERING TATTLER.—Frequent- 
ing the surfi-beaten rocks, these tattlers are common during 
both migrations. In the exodus-migration, they arrive in July. 
In the return-migration, my earliest date is April 20. 
85. Actitis macularia. Spotrep SANDPIPER.—Two females 
were taken on May 10, 1907. 
86. Numenius americanus. LoNG-BILLED CURLEw.—My only 
records are for the close of summer. 
87. Numenius hudsonicus. HupsoniAn CurLew.—A single 
male was taken on April 8 and another on May 13, 1907. Dur- 
ing the latter part of July of the same year some were seen 
going south over Monterey Bay. 
88. Squatarola squatarola. BLACK-BELLIED PLOvER.—As in 
the case of the other shore birds, my notes are very fragmentary 
for this common species. On the 24th and 30th of July, 1907, 
some were seen heading south over Monterey Bay, about five 
miles offshore. In 1907, a male was shot on September 23, and 
in 1909, a male on November 22. 
89. Oxyechus vociferus. KILLDEER.—Wherever the condi- 
tions are favorable, the Killdeer is to be found in more or less 
abundance in this vicinity. 
90. AXgialitis nivosa. SNowy PLover.—The Snowy Plover 
breeds commonly on the sandy shore. 
91. Aphriza virgata. SURF-BiIRD.—Careful observation on 
the seaward side of the rocky islets along this coast would 
probably show that the Surf-bird is not rare. There are six 
specimens in the Academy’s collection secured by me in the 
vicinity of Point Pinos; a male taken May 10, 1907, and two 
males and three females taken August 5, 1907. 
92. Arenaria interpres. —TURNSTONE.—So far as I remember 
I have not taken the-Turnstone in this vicinity. Mr. Loomis
