tains to a single specimen sent in by Mr. Smith, taken at Cienaga, Sep- 

 tember 15, 1898. Doubtless this was a transient individual only, the 

 species not being known to pass the winter so far north. 



92. Actitis maculaiia (Linnaeus). 



Tringoides macularia Shaspe, Cat. Birds Brit. Mus., XXIV, 1896, 468 (Valle 

 de Upar). 



Actitis macularia Bangs, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, XIII, 1899, 92 (La 

 Concepcion). — Allen, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., XIII, 1900, 125 (Cie-

 plum.). 



Three specimens: Bonda, Buritaca, and Fundacion. 



The Spotted Sandpiper is a winter resident here as elsewhere in 

 tropical America. The Fundacion specimen, which was secured Au- 

 gust 16, 1913, represents the earliest recorded date of arrival in the 

 fall migration. An example taken at Bonda on February 2 is renew- 

 ing the remiges by prenuptial moult. 



93. Tringa solitaria solitaria Wilson. 



Rhyacophilys solitarius Salvin and Godman, Ibis, 1880, 178 (Santa Marta).

 Marta). 



Totanus solitarius Allen, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., XIII, 1900, 126 (Cie- 

 naga). — Allen, Auk, XVII, 1900, 364 (Cienaga; Santa Marta, ex Salvin 

 and Godman). 



Eight specimens : Bonda, Cienaga, Mamatoco, and Fundacion. 



The Solitary Sandpiper is a winter resident in this section. Simons 

 speaks of it as being " common near the seashore and sandbanks of 

 the rivers," which is correct. In fact, it is common wherever condi- 

 tions are suitable, being found along creeks, irrigation-ditches, ponds 

 and puddles. The earliest recorded date of arrival in the fall is Au- 

 gust 15 (1913), the latest spring date is April 18 (1900?). 



94. Neoglottis fiavipes (Gmelin). 



Totanus fiavipes Allen, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., XIII, 1900, 126 (Cie- 

 naga). — Allen, Auk, XVII, 1900, 364 (Cien&ga). 



Eight specimens : Bonda, Cienaga, Gaira, Mamatoco, and Punto Cai- 

 man. 



The Yellow-legs is fairly common in the fall migration in Septem- 

 ber, being found wherever there is water of any kind. Earliest and 

 latest dates are respectively August 22 (1913) and October 31 (1899).
