15, were all that were observed during the season. The species 

 is apparently of rare occurrence on the coast of southeastern 

 Alaska. 



The specimen secured (no. 9860) has the marbling on the 

 inner web of the outer primary characteristic of cinnamomeus. 



Heteractitis incanus (Gmelin). Wandering Tattler. 



Observed at but very few points. Three were seen and 

 secured at Calder Bay, Prince of Wales Island, May 11 (nos. 

 9861-9863) ; and two at Egg Harbor, Coronation Island (nos. 

 9864, 9865), where several others were noted. The species was 

 next encountered at Mitkof Island, August 10, when a single 

 bird was taken, still in the breeding plumage (no. 9866). A 

 bird in the winter garb was seen at Port Snettisham on August 

 24. 



Actitis macularius (Linnaeus). Spotted Sandpiper. 



First observed at Calder Bay, Prince of Wales Island, on 

 May 12, and subsequently met with at most of the points 

 visited. Specific record stations are as follows : Calder Bay, 

 Warren Island, Chickamin River, Revillagigedo Island, Etolin 

 Island, Bradfield Canal, Zarembo Island, Mitkof Island, Thomas 

 Baj', Port Snettisham, and the Taku River. It was everywhere a 

 bird of the beaches and streams, invariably feeding at the water 's 

 edge, and was seldom seen^on the mud flats frequented by most 

 of the other waders. 



At Bradfield Canal (July 18 to 26) a brood of full grown 

 young was seen daily about camp. An adult taken at Mitkof 

 Island on August 10 had not yet begun to molt the summer 

 plumage. On the Taku River, in September, spotted sandpipers 

 were fairly abundant during the first half of the month, but 

 a little later they nearly all disappeared, though one was seen 

 as late as September 27. 



Three specimens were secured, one from Portage Cove, 

 Revillagigedo Island (no. 9855), one from Etolin Island (no. 

 9856), and one from Mitkof Island (no. 9857), all adults in 

 breeding plumage.
