winter home. Special attention’ needs to be called to this fact, 
‘because nearly a dozen ‘species of this family—among which may be 
noted particularly the greater and lesser' yellow-legs and the white- 
rumped sandpiper—have been reported as breeding near the southern 
end of South America. In ro case has it been claimed that the eggs 
have been found, and ‘all. the records are based on the finding of 
young not fully grown or in most cases simply from the presence of 
individuals during the usual breeding season of local species. This 
-latter reason is not even presumptive of breeding. Nearly a hun- 
‘dred species of North American birds escape the winter of the North- 
ern Hemisphere by visiting South America, and they remain there 
through what is the breeding season of the resident species, but do 
not themselves undertake any household cares. It may be stated 
positively that none of the Limicole that breed north of the equator 
breed also in the southern part of their range.
