288 TRANSACTIONS OF THE [1895 
West River, Md., in a grass field adjoining the village of Hales- 
ville” (J. Murray Ellzey, Forrest and Stream, xxvil., 264). 
Totanus melanoleucus (254). Greater Yellow-legs. 
Common migrant, but not so numerous as the following spe- 
cies. On March 26 (’75, Resler) one was taken at Patapsco 
Marsh, and on June 7 (94) one at Ocean City. In fall, Mr. 
Stone gives them as early as July 15 in New Jersey (Birds E. Pa. 
and N. J.), and Mr. Richmond at Washington from July 26, 
but my earliest note is a flock of 35 in Dulaney’s Valley on 
August 12 (94), while as late as November 4 (793), I received 
one from Patapsco Neck (probably shot about the 2nd or 3rd), 
and another from Cumberland, also probably shot at the same 
time. 
Totanus flavipes (255). Yellow-legs. 
More numerous than the former, in the spring from March 
15 (95), at Havre de Grace, to May 17 (93, Wholey), at 
Patapsco Marsh, and again from August 12 (94), at Loch Ra- 
ven, to September 5 (93, J. H. Fisher, Jr.), at Spring Gardens. 
At Washington, September 11 (94, Wm. Palmer and R.S8. 
Matthews). 
Totanus solitarius (256). Solitary Sandpiper. 
A regular but not abundant migrant, generally found singly 
or in pairs in spring, and in small flocks in fall. Noted from 
April 25 to May 30 (91, Gray), and from August 13 (793, 
Gray) to October 12 (’89, Resler). 
This species is a rare summer resident, though its nest has 
not yet been recorded in Maryland. On July 14, ’93, one was 
in company with a Killdeer in the bed of Gwynn’s Falls, at Cal- 
verton (Gray and Blogg). 
‘Occasionally one is seen during the breeding season" at 
Sandy Springs (Stabler). “In Maryland and Virginia. 
I have shot birds in August so young as to leave no doubt in 
my mind that they were bred in the vicinity” (Birds N. W., 
499).
